About This Item
Smithsonian Press, 1967. Hardcover. Very Good/No Dustjacket as issued. . In Very Good+ condition. Twenty six pages of text and approximately 200 pages of photographs of the Letters of Joe B. Lente. Joe Bartolo Lente was a native of Isleta Pueblo, located south of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Lente was a self-taught artist. In 1935, after he saw Elsie Claws Parsons' monograph Isleta (1923), which was part of the forty-seventh annual report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, Lente wrote the BAE asking if the bureau would be interested in purchasing some of his paintings. Lente's paintings and drawings depicted the closely held rites and religious rituals of Isleta culture. Sharing these cultural secrets was forbidden, but Lente offered to depict them if the BAE kept the artist's identity a secret.
