Mara: The Potter of San Ildefonso is the story of Mara Martnez and her husband, Julin, who revived the ancient Pueblo craft of potterymaking and stimulated interest in Southwestern Pueblo pottery among both white people and Indians.Mara Montoya Martnez, or Marie, as she sometimes signs her pottery, is a woman who has become in her own lifetime a legend. She lives in the pueblo of San Ildefonso, near Santa F, New Mexico, and although her life has been, as closely as she could make it, the normal life of a woman of her culture, her unusual qualities have set her apart and gained her fame throughout the world.Through her mastery of potterymaking, Mara brought economic gain to her family and her village. However, distressing problems accompanied success and fame. Liquor ultimately wrecked Julan. There was dissension within the pueblo. And there was the succession of admiring white people who invaded her home and interrupted her work. Not least, in Mara view, was the departure of her own children from many Pueblo customs.Inextricably woven into the story of Mara is the story of the pottery of the Southwestern Pueblos, a native craft that has become a national art interest, including the development of the unique blackonblack ware by Julin, the first of which is reproduced among the illustrations.Margaret Lefrancs many accurate drawings of actual pieces of pottery provide an almost complete documentary history of the craft and show some of the finest examples of Maras art. Her skilled pen has also interpreted faithfully the spirit of Mara, the Pueblo Indians, and the pottery.
