Summary:	This book is the story of William Spratling, remembered most for his design work in silver, and his life in Taxco, Mexico, where he lived from 1929 until his death in 1967. Spratling was an artist, architect, writer, bon vivant, and passionate collector of Mexican folk art and archaeological artifacts. His friends included William Faulkner, Diego Rivera, Miguel Covarrubias, and many writers, artists, actors, and other famous and infamous people who pass through the pages of this lively book. In 1929 Spratling left the French Quarter in New Orleans and bought a house in Taxco, a small mining town in the Sierra Madre south of Mexico City. Within five years he had written a classic book about the town, Little Mexico, and founded a business in the hand production of silver jewelry that would make him a rich man and Taxco famous. He drew other artistic expatriates to Taxco until it became a cluster of creative people like that around Gertrude Stein in Paris or Mabel Dodge Luhan in Taos. Illustrated with photographs of his silver work and his gallery as well as Spratling's own drawings, this book is the first to look at all aspects of Spratling's life and career and show what an extraordinary and multitalented man he was.  Read more...
