| Description |
At any time throughout history, at any place in
the world, the fundamental appeal of this
delighful nude would be understood. She makes
us realize that the essentials of life have changed
little, no matter what other progress has been
achieved. With her hairstyle and jewelry, she
evokes a woman of Ancient Mexico, but she
could as easily be from Egypt, China, or Babylon.
Placed in a tomb, she offered the promise of
renewal, rebirth, continuity. Her magic is as
timeless as woman herself.
- (PF.1973)
