| Description |
Though rendered with plump abstraction, this
little figure radiates a very human warmth. This
gentle shyness is the special charm of Chinesco
art, which seems the most compassionate of the
Ancient Mexican traditions. Chinesco figures
appear guileless as young children, eager for
affection, polite visitors from a friendly planet.
This delightful figure wins our hearts without
uttering a word.
- (PF.1897)
