Description
A Genaro Alvarez midcentury mosaic panel depicting a group of village women washing clothes on a riverbank framed within an oversized Agave plant.
Agave has a long religious and cultural place in Mexico's belief history dating from the Aztec's goddess of Agave Mayheul who represented long life and health, dancing and fertility.
Genaro Alvarez has a spiritual side within his compositions.
This mosaic is a combination of a mundane chore of washing the clothes and the energy released from Agave as viewed by the Aztecs on thru Mexican religious traditions.
There is a pale blue,grey protective spirit released by the harvesting of the Agave that is both in the river and enveloping the women as a protective cloak..
A wonderful combination of multicolored tiles in a variety of shapes and sizes.
The mosaic is in very good condition. -
