Lara, Juan. JUAN LARA: RETROSPECTIVA MEXICANA.  Mexico: n.p. [Casa 
Domecq por la Federacion Nacional de Charos], 1991. 243 pp., [1]. Sm. 
obl. 4to. (9.5 x 11 inches). Illustrated gray cloth (hardback). First 
edition. Illus. with over 200 color plates + 11 color & b/w photos.

A thorough retrospective of the impressionist Andalusian artist Juan 
Lara (1921-1995). The first section of forty paintings (commissioned 
by Casa Domecq) documents the world of Charreria (the Mexican festive 
event that incorporates equestrian competitions and demonstrations, 
specific costumes and horse trappings, music, and food). It is 
perhaps the best representation of its subject in the latter half of 
the 20th century. A portion of this section was last exhibited at the 
Autry Museum in 2001 and is now housed at Cultural Institute Domecq. 
Other sections include "Mercadillos y Pueblos Rosas Mexicanos", 
"Pueblos Blancos Andaluces," "Haciendas de Ganado Bravo," "El Caballo 
en Mexico," "Antologica en el Puerto- Espana," and "La Casa Domecq," 
a series of sketchs. Very hard to find. OCLC and RLIN list only 7 
copies together and we have seen none for sale in the last ten years.

A near fine copy with some minor soiling to the front board in a near 
fine dust jacket but for a few tiny tears to the top edge. Plates 
crisp and bright. [25684] $485.00
