In 'Artisans of Trabajo Rústico,' author Patsy Light traces the legacy of a Mexican folk art style made famous by artist Dionicio Rodríguez.
. Urrutia, a noted Mexican surgeon who relocated to San Antonio during the Mexican Revolution, brought along with him an artist whose name resounds throughout San Antonio’s past and present: Dionicio Rodríguez.
Patsy Pittman Light stands underneath the gates to the Japanese Tea Gardens, by Dionicio Rodriguez, then named the Chinese Tea Gardens.Light said during her research in the early 2000s, she found that in San Antonio Rodríguez’s work was neglected or largely dismissed as being made by “some little Mexican man,” or at best as “a man named Rodríguez about 1930” in the inventory of the Spanish Governor’s Palace, where the artist made several works that still exist.
In her 2008 volume on Rodríguez, Light mentions the planter and suggests that as a frequent collaborator with Rodríguez, Cortés might have helped build the Castroville grotto. However, the planter no longer exists, destroyed in January by a business owner who replaced it with a parking lot. “That’s why we probably need to make people more aware of what’s here around town that is of historical significance, that people would appreciate. And unfortunately, that piece is gone now,” she said.Courtesy / Meg Conner
