Published in a second edition in order to incorporate the many major new works painted by the artist since the first edition of 2002, this oversized volume (9x12") provides a feast for the eyes
with its full-page color plates. Arregu穩n was born and grew up in Michoacan, Mexico before settling in Washington State, and the symbols, flora, fauna, landscape, and myths of both the Pacific
Northwest and Mexico are to be found in his rich oeuvre. The volume contains lengthy essays on the artist and his work, in side-by-side Spanish and English text. A bibliography and list of
exhibitions are included, but there is no index. Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
