Untitled

A plate with a gray background and a black line on the edge. There is a man with arms open wide in the center, and four other people in different poses. José Luis Cuevas is a multidisciplinary mexican artist representative of the so called "Ruptura". Talavera was one of the materials with which he worked. In this plate six human figures allude to prehispanic cultures because to their clothing and dismembered parts. Dismemberment was a religious and war practices, the people sacrificed were usually war captives. Ironic and sarcastic Cuevas humor allowed him to put on a plate and scene that sometimes ends with people eating them.
