«El Barro Figureado» is Mariano Díaz's essay on the popular art of clay figures in Venezuela, in paperback, with 183 pages in Spanish.
The book studies clay figures of Venezuelan craftsmanship, from pieces in their natural baked-clay color to those decorated in colors. It brings together nativity scenes, processions, wakes, virgins, portraits of Bolívar, costumbrista scenes and local characters, and devotes a section to the artisans who create them.
Published in 1990, the volume is organized in two blocks, clay in its natural color and colored clay, and includes testimonies from the makers and the location of the artists.
For fans of folk art and Venezuelan culture, it is a documented journey through the motifs, techniques and creators of clay figures.
