Francisco Toledo: A Favorite Mexican Artist



Bird with Shadow, 1999
Etching/Metal, 8" x 5"

Self-Portrait IV, 1999
Etching/Metal 13" x 10"
Francisco Toledo

I love the rich fluidity of his work. These examples are etchings; Toledo creates profound images with gouache, too. I got to see some favorites again this week at the Museum of Latin American Art, where they are on view in a permanent collection show.

And - just discovered - he has a website: http://www.franciscotoledo.net
