WILL SHUSTER—a Santa Fe Legend
Joseph Dispenza and Louise Turner
Museum of New Mexico Press
Softcover, First edition,1989, 135 pages, illustrated in black and white and color.
“With their sparkling biography of painter/craftsman Will Shuster, Joseph Dispenza and Louise Turner have presented a wonderful gift to Santa Feans and to that widely dispersed and heterogeneous collection of right-thinking people, the friends of Santa Fe. The authors have artfully recreated in full color a lively, cherished place and time by focusing upon the one man who seemed to embody the old town’s unique municipal flavor: the happy and productive isolation from mainstream America, the scrupulous informality, the good-humored iconoclasm, the hard work and riotous relaxation, the bathtub gin and the adobe dust. For enigma fanciers, there is even a charming mystery to savor and ponder. Shush lives!” —Richard Bradford
