"Alacena," Maria Izquierdo, 1947.
Mexican artist Izquierdo did a series of paintings of shallow cupboards, or alacenas, depicting various household objects, food, knickknacks, and folk art. There's a charming everyday feel here, of things arranged just for fun.
Izquierdo was the first Mexican woman artist to be exhibited in the US and was Mexico's cultural ambassador to other countries. This is one of her final paintings; chronic pain and a stroke in the mid-40s made painting harder and harder. She died from a second stroke in 1955. Although not as well-known as Frida Kahlo, she paved the way for many other Mexican women in the arts.
