- Lot Description
David Linares (Mexican, b. 1963), Mexican Revolutionary and his Wife, papier mache, 1986. Signed "David Linares / Mex. D. F. / 1986" on base (beside the man's foot). A wonderful papier mache sculpture of two amorous calaveras (Spanish for skeletons), the couple perhaps representing Pancho Villa and one of his 26 wives, engaged in a passionate embrace and created by a cartonero (papier-mache sculptor) from the famous Linares family. The skeletal lady wears a colorful outfit comprised of a sky blue jumper with orange and yellow lower trim over a hot pink blouse. Her beloved revolutionary wears a teal uniform and sombrero with parakeet green trim, a vermilion and scarlet bandolier over his chest, a long sword and piston in his waist belt, and black boots. The couple stand together upon a square base modeled and painted to look like the grassy ground below. Size: 13.25" L x 11.875" W x 26.5" H (33.7 cm x 30.2 cm x 67.3 cm)
David Linares is a grandson of Pedro Linares, a pioneering artist who along with his three sons and several grandsons (including David) create their traditional papier mache calaveras figures in Mexico City. These figures are quite popular during the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) holiday - a celebration to honor the lives of deceased ancestors.
Provenance: ex-private Moore collection, Denver, Colorado, USA, acquired prior to 1990
