Mexican Prayer Painting
A Mexican prayer painting, commissioned as supplication to the Saints, seeking Divine Intervention for a patient in a hospital. Painted on scrap metal, this would have been an important altar piece in a humble Mexican home.
While primitive in execution, there is a compositional order and directness in this artwork giving it power and elevating it beyond categorization as a simple icon by an itinerant artist.
