Product Description

Details

A mischievous devil spikes the agave fields, surrounded by musical instruments and a sarape shawl in a card marked as number 2. It comes from Marina Pallares’ original interpretation of the lotera, a unique version of the classic bingo game featuring traditional Mexican images. The devil is a classic feature in the game, because according to Mexican beliefs, one cannot fear what one laughs about, and it is also presented in diminutive, less threatening form: little devil. The loteria made its appearance in the second half of the 18th century, and it is still a favorite at schools, fairs, carnivals and festivals. “I grew up in Jalisco, known for the production of tequila from agave plants, and as a child I used to play lotera all the time. These two facts inspired me to create the ‘Tequila Lotto’ series,” confides Pallares, who credits the influence of Leopoldo Mndez and Jos Guadalupe Posada in her work. She masters aquafortis and aquatint etching techniques to create this eloquent composition.

Titled “Lotera tequilera” in Spanish.
