" Death and fertility " brown, Codex Fejervary Mayer, sheet 37 - Limited Edition of 9 Artwork

“ Death and Fertility ” Codex Fejervary Mayer, sheet 37. The pictograms of the new book "Ñundeui, at the foot of the sky" are the same that were included in the first edition. To prevent them from overpowering the photographs I reproduced them only with their outlines. Now I want them to be appreciated in all their splendor. In “Death and fertility” I have simplified the figures and changed the colors to clearly display the fantastic imagination of the Tlacuilo and the visual power of the ancient image. Digitally enhanced on brown background by MM in February 2022. Mictecacíhuatl at left and Mictlantecuhtli, the lady and lord of the underworld, discuss the fate of a dead man in the fangs of Tlaltecuhtli, the devourer of corpses and monster of the Earth. What does it mean? The archeologist Eduardo Matos defined it many years ago:” Through death you get to life and life leads back to death. It is the vital cycle that takes place day by day, year after year.” The 50 cm print comes in a limited edition of 9. Title, author and year of manufacture are included on the print. The print comes with a 1 cm white border. Made to order on archival cotton paper in 10 days plus shipping. For open edition inkjet prints in custom size please contact mario.mutschlechner@gmail.com
