Giant Figures by Juan Torres

Updated  October 5, 2007

DESCRIPTION

Juan Torres is a master artist of Capula, Michoacan. This piece is hand formed and painted clay and has been fired twice.  Unlike most other Capula pieces, this is done in a matte finish. In Capula, the skeletal women are all called "Catrina" even if they do not look at all like Jose Posada's lady. And, for want of a better word, the men are called "Catrin."  These gentlemen could be paired up with these ladies.
