The Retablos of Jeronimo Lozano: From Peru to Utah - Hardcover

by Alan Govenar (Author)

Steeped in ancient Peruvian traditions, these small, sculpted figures show religious and secular scenes housed in structures ranging from pistachio shells and matchboxes to handmade wooden boxes and freestanding installations.

Lozano's retablos are both traditional and innovative, visualizing the cultural life of people in the mountains of Peru thru ceremonies, processions, and market stands to fiestas, street performance, historical tableaux, and current events.

Writer, documentarian, and folklorist Alan Govenar shares an in-depth interview with Lozano. Divided into My Story, My Life, and My Process, the interview is paired with 100+ colorful photographs of his work.
