Note Fr. Steele:
"gift of a benefactor on occasion of 99th birthday, 19 Jan 97; acquired from Casa Angelica, Albuquerque South Valley, which received it as part of the Frank Visqueney bequest."|"I formerly thought that Luis Aragon was the world's last medieval artist (see Santos and Saints, eds. 1 & 2, p. 213), but further information (his use of a model in a book) and reflection on the history of the santeros leads me to think that he was a romantic-revival santero along with everyone else after about 192. But he was muy tosco -- very village, very unsophisticated. See my article on Luis Aragon in Summer '96 issue of Tradicion Revista."
