An essential addition to any collection of Western art and Americana, The Life and Times of Jo Mora provides an in-depth biography of this gifted illustrator, painter, writer, cartographer, and sculptor.2022 Will Rogers Medallian Award, BRONZE: Western Biographies & MemoirsPubWest 2021 Book Design Award: GOLD Winner, Historical/Biographical Books2021 Foreword Indies, Honorable Mention: BiographyJo Mora (18761947) lived the Western life he depicted in his prolific body of visual art, comprising sculpture, paintings, architectural adornments, dioramas, and maps. He explored California Missions, the natural glories of Yosemite, Californias ranch life, and eventually the culture of the Hopi and Navajo in Arizona. During his travels, Mora documented observations that became the source material and inspiration for much of his later artwork.The magnitude of Moras insights into his life and work, as described in his own wordsmany presented here in this bookcannot be underestimated. Jo Moras many diaries, journals, and literary efforts reveal an intellectual discernment, originality, and humor that enhance our appreciation of his work.Remarkably, throughout his life Mora supported his family solely through a series of art commissions that ranged from restaurant murals to heroic-scale sculpture. He welcomed risks and challenges, was unafraid of hard work, and did nearly everything well, from writing childrens stories to commanding an army battalion-in-training to shooting mountain lions. Ever modest, he seemed to think that this versatility was nothing extraordinary. Peter Hillers thoughtful presentation of Jo Moras life is seen here in all of its creative glory.
