Description

Taller de Grafica Popular printmaker Francisco Luna did this color linocut around 1960. It depicts a family of four on a rooftop apparently, hand working wool into yarn, using chairs tipped upside down as anchors. The artist adds subtle greens, reds, and blue blocks for color and depth.

Over the wall, in the background is the city of Patzcuaro, Michoacan Mexico where Luna taught art at the UNESCO and CREFAL Center, a regional center for adult education for Latin America and the Caribbean. The steeple and cross of the 16th century Templo Del Sagario are shown rising above the rooftops.
