Books like Saddest Place on Earth

Garcia's first book collecting her lovely art commenting on our drug-dependent, war-mongering society. The San Jose Art Museum's website had a bunch of videos (my brain just froze - I can't remember the new name for them...) of Garcia explaining the thought process behind each "grouping" of her art, when they were doing her show. I don't know if they're still up, but if so they're very worth checking out. You can see in this book, and also in the videos as she explains her work, how her early art very soon matures into something deeper, and politics really comes into play. Anyway - you don't have to know any of that to love her work, of course - it just adds a level -
