“Tonacatecuhtli, the lord of our livelihood, working the land”. Brown. Codex Fejérváry Mayer, sheet 29. - Limited Edition of 9 Artwork

“Tonacatecuhtli, the lord of our livelihood, working the land”. Codex Fejérváry Mayer, sheet 29. The father of the gods and the inventor of men, also named Ometeotl, the god of duality. The ancient god of creation and fertility, father of Quetzalcoatl, Huitzilopochtli, Tezcatlipoca and Xipe Totec. Digitally enhanced on brown background by MM in January 2022. My photobook “Ñundeui, al pie del cielo”, published in 2008, illustrates with handsome, topless Indian women of the late sixties an ancient Mexico that has disappeared. ,Apparently everybody likes the photographs, but the pre-Columbian poetry and the pictograms of the book went unnoticed. For a new edition I currently enhance the pictograms by applying colors, textures and depth to their outlines. The result is a celebration of an awe inspiring ancient cosmovision. The strange beauty of Aztec pictograms fascinates with its magic and mystery. For Western sensibilities they are truly exotic and psychedelic. It is a joy to find ways to highlight their appeal and, hopefully, to thrill with their beauty and exotic worldview. The 50 cm print comes in a limited edition of 9. Title, author and year of manufacture are included on the print. The print includes a 1 cm white border. Made to order on archival cotton paper in 10 days plus shipping.
