Celestina con carne 1965

"Celestina con carne" (1965) is a lithograph by Mexican artist José Luis Cuevas (1934-2017). The work depicts a single figure in profile against a vibrant red background, the subject is likely a woman with an exaggerated, distorted head and body. The figure appears to be hunched over, with a dark cloth covering most of their body, creating a sense of weight and burden. Cuevas is known for his powerful and often grotesque portrayals of the human form, reflecting the social and political complexities of his time. This particular work, with its stark contrast and suggestive imagery, showcases his signature style.
