| book description |

As he lay bleeding in a Vietnamese rice paddy, his right arm shredded by shrapnel, artist Jesse TreviÃ±o realized that he wanted to honor and preserve his family and his cultural heritage through his artwork. After receiving a Purple Heart and undergoing two years of rehabilitative therapy and the amputation of his right forearmâ€”including his painting handâ€”TreviÃ±o enrolled in San Antonio College, determined to learn how to draw and paint with his left hand. In 1974 he produced the impressive La Historia Chicana, a one hundred-foot-long work embracing six centuries of Mexican American heritage now on display inside the Sueltenfuss Library at Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio. Since then, TreviÃ±o has completed many more paintings and public artworks, including Spirit of Healing, the nine-story hand-cut tile mosaic that graces Christus Santa Rosa Children's Hospital in downtown San Antonio. His work has been collected by the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum, and the San Antonio Museum of Art. Anthony Head's sensitive and elegant biography now offers readers an intimate view of the artist's life. Head captures TreviÃ±o's determination, artistic vision, and the deep pride in his Chicano heritage that he transmits to the world through his creations. Spirit: The Life and Art of Jesse TreviÃ±o promises to engage and inspire readers with its vivid portrayal of this triumph of art and the human spirit.
