The Workers, Alfredo Ramos Martinez Dallas Museum of Art |
Not all his work was like that, of course. I was struck by his floral paintings. These were on loan so we were lucky to see them.

They also had art displayed high up on several walls and the textile art was another link in the chain to the art we'd seen at the DMA. Some it put us in mind of a collection of huipils for putting on statues of the Virgin Mary.

I'll be featuring other paintings soon. No themes, just the stuff that I like a lot.
