Weaving Identities: Construction of Dress and Self in a Highland Guatemala Town Book

This is a beautiful coffee table book with lovely illustrations of some of Warhol's most striking pieces. The author has researched thoroughly to gain a grasp of the vast scope of religiosity to be found within the body of Warhol's work. She does a fine job of describing various of the Warhol series and interpreting through her own vision the religious significance of colors, patterns, line, subject matter he has utilized in individual pieces. The book is more about the work than the man insofar as it can be separated from the personal; in Warhol's case much IS very personal which does emerge in Dillengerger's treatment. I did enjoy reading this, although it took me a while to get through it. I found for myself that taking it in separate sessions spread out over time helped in digesting earlier concepts and readying for later efforts to progress through the book.
