Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Come in and stroll the rocky canyons and high-country aspen groves with the sheepherder and master folk artist, Pacomio ('Paco') M. Chacon (1916-2009), of Fruita, Colorado. Follow Paco through his old sheep ranges to enjoy this opportunity to view the exceptional images he carved into the cliffs and aspens. As a lonely herder, his favorite subjects were nude or scantily clad 'calendar girls.' He typically left these images off the 'beaten paths.' They are thus unknown to any but those who commonly roam these remote areas. These lucky few have long acknowledged Paco's obvious talents and considered him a Colorado treasure. They recognize Paco, an entirely self-taught artist, as the finest sheepherder-artist ever to carve on the cliffs and aspens of the American West. Since his few surviving works are in private collections or widely scattered, this book is the only way they can readily be viewed. Although largely a celebration of the natural female form, Paco's works are tasteful and respectful. Enjoy this introduction to Paco's individualized art and his other chimerically portrayed forest friends. They are certain to make you chuckle, and put a broad smile on your face.…
