Reviews
"The life and art of Jesse Treviño is a story as big and colorful and captivating as Spirit of Healing, Trevino's nine-story, landmark mosaic that adorns the exterior facade of the Children's Hospital of San Antonio. Author Anthony Head has somehow succeeded in capturing that narrative and putting it down on paper. Spirit: The Life and Art of Jesse Treviño, is must-reading for anyone who cares about San Antonio, its arts community, and the city's deep Mexican roots. Above all, this book is a compelling account of a great artist who rose from modest circumstances on the city's Westside and overcame extraordinary adversity to create art and build a legacy that will live on for generations."" - Robert Rivard, author of Trail of Feathers: In Search of Philip True, and co-founder of the Rivard Report. """"A well-written, deeply moving story of a tortured man who overcame great challenges to pursue his artistic passions."""" - Harriett Denise Joseph, author of From Santa Anna to Selena: Notable Mexicanos and Tejanos in Texas History since 1821"
