Garduño, Flor (b. 1957)
Virgen de los Angeles.

Mexico, 1987; Printed 1995.

Silver print, signed, titled, dated, with inventory numbers in the artist's hand in pencil on verso; matted, the sheet 14 x 11 in.

"Since her youth, [Garduño] has developed her own style and sought the profound truth of the Mexican countryside, venturing into still life, the female nude, portraiture, and architecture, always in a perpetual search for the subtle boundaries of the imaginary; a portrait of the roots of magical cultures. The bridge between the present moment and the centuries that have passed lies in the eyes of those that have witnessed them--the water, trees, earth, and air. By incorporating these powerful natural elements in her photography, Flor evokes the presence of indigenous America's horizons and suns. Flor makes her own rules, continually aiming to elicit some deep emotion. With the framework of her photography built, Flor perseveres in the task of taking photos that not only reveal but rather capture a place of revelation."
