Property of Richard Rosenberg, Winnetka, IL, Lots 39-41 Francisco Zúñiga Costa Rican/Mexican, (1912-1992), "Standing Mother and Child", 1959, bronze with brown and green patina, numbered V, signed. excluding base: height 17 7/8in, width 6 7/8in Fußnoten Literature Reich, Sheldon and Zúñiga, Francisco, "Francisco Zúñiga, Sculptor: Conversations and Interpretations," University of Arizona Press, Tucson, AZ, 1981, p. 92, pl. 64, another example illustrated While many may argue that Zúñiga's representations of mestiza women are romanticized (he often depicted them in heroic proportions, strong and stoic) Zúñiga never though himself romantic. Rather, he focused on the history of representation in Mexican and Latin American prehistoric art filtered through the lens of the "universal": "Rodin, Michelangelo, Maillol, and Moore are summits of universal culture... If I sometimes utilize their techniques... I do not execute a sculpture like Rodin's, or Moore's or Maillol's. There is a fundamental difference in the form... The idea of this form in my case has its roots in prehispanic and colonial art" (Ibid. p. 93). Discussing the present piece in Conversations and Interpretations, Reich says: "Standing Mother With Child"... is lost in her own dream. Clutching her lower body is a small child who looks to her for protection and succor, but the woman seems almost unaware of him. The sculpture is imposing, the woman and child forming a large solid structure... There are abstractions, but they come through the generalizing of shapes rather than through experimentation with technique" (Ibid. p. 95).
