There are not many examples of the theme of Our Lady of the Rosary in American art (USA), but here are some of my favorites.
In May of 2014, I did two Blogs of the art of silhouettes by Sister Mary Jean Dorcy and Daniel Thomas Paulos. Sister Mary Jean died in 1988, but her artwork has inspired many other artists, including Dan Paulos, who collaborated with her on her last book, “Spring Comes to the Hill Country” (1989).
Our dear friend, Brother Arturo Olivas, OFS, who died November 2017 (see Blog 11/21/17) did several retablos of our Lady of the Rosary. Arturo was not only an accomplished retablo artist, but he was a Third Order Franciscan, an elementary school teacher, and a gardener, who left a remarkable legacy of loving, learning, teaching, faith and art.
