An essay on the arts of the American Southwest, contrasting Pueblo Indian culture with Spanish Colonial culture in New Mexico. It discusses how environment, spiritual belief (the Katchina concept) and symbolism shape Pueblo design, and mentions weaving, basketry, pottery and adobe architecture, with a note on the potters of San Ildefonso. Illustrations show Spanish Colonial santos, a cabinet, furniture, a vegetable-dyed handspun wool blanket, a colcha embroidery, and Indian baskets and pottery. The article is continued in the next issue.
