Oaxaca,
Mexico, is an enchanting and mysterious place. Situated south of
Mexico City, it is an area filled with archeological sites and people
with an awesome artistic bent. Descendants of the Zapatec and Mixtec
peoples, they still maintain a history of art, rituals, festivals
and lifestyle akin to their predecessors.
VILLAGE PAINTINGS - OAXACA. These delightfully
colorful paintings depict village life in the Mexican countryside.
Costumed men and women are planting, hoeing, harvesting, watering
their crops or perhaps heading to the market.
