+ABOUT THE AUTHOR+
Paul Alexander Bartlett (1909-1990) was both a writer and an artist,
born in Moberly, Missouri, and educated at Oberlin College, the
University of Arizona, the Academia de San Carlos in Mexico City, and
the Instituto de Bellas Artes in Guadalajara. His work can be divided
into three categories: He is the author of many novels, short stories,
and poems; second, as a fine artist, his drawings, hacienda
illustrations, and paintings have been exhibited in more than 40
one-man shows in leading galleries, including the Los Angeles County
Museum, the Atlanta Art Museum, the Bancroft Library, the Richmond Art
Institute, the Brooks Museum, the Instituto-Mexicano-Norteamericano in
Mexico City, and other galleries; and, third, he devoted much of his
life to the most comprehensive study of the haciendas of Mexico.
Three hundred and fifty of his pen-and-ink illustrations of the
haciendas and more than one thousand hacienda photographs make up the
Paul Alexander Bartlett Collection held by the Nettie Lee Benson Latin
American Collection of the University of Texas, and form part of a
second diversified collection held by the American Heritage Center of
the University of Wyoming, which also includes an extensive archive of
Bartlett's literary work, fine art, and letters. A third archive
consisting primarily of Bartlett's literary work is held by the
Department of Special Collections at UCLA. A fourth archive consisting
of 198 hacienda photographs by Bartlett is preserved by the Latin
America Image Library at Tulane University in New Orleans.
Bartlett's book about the history and life on the haciendas, including
a selection of his illustrations and photographs, was originally
published by the University Press of Colorado in 1990 under the title
_The Haciendas of Mexico: An Artist's Record_.
