What a great Mexican Folk Art Exhibit!! I was so impressed by the exhibit in Lancaster and Mexico's fine arts as well as popular arts (arte popular}. The skulls were fantastic. Gregg Stones work was just beautiful and so full of life. The paintings and drawings of Ramon Ramirez were so in touch with the past as well as the present indigenous traits of Mexico. I particular enjoyed the original Tehuana dresses and clothing but most importantly the orginal vintage Dolls of Mexico donated by Wendy Scalzo. What a pleasant surprise ! I have never seen any of these dolls before at any show. I didnt realize that we had such gorgeous representives of our countries 20th.c clothing and dolls that are certainly rivals of even the finest costume dolls in the world. Great show..thanks for the invite. I cant wait for Wendy Scalzo's book on these dolls too.I hope to see more of these types of show in our area. Thank you to everyone who contributed.
Looks like it was a great exhibiton. Thank you for sharing the pictures.
