Hi Jim, glad to see you around here again. I knew I’d seen this painting before, but I couldn’t remember where. Is the MAM near the Rufin Tamayo?

Happy to keep supplying the images!

Hi Gary, The original painting is by Mexican artist Juan O’Gorman, who also did the great murals at UNAM. The painting is here in el DF at the Museo de Arte
Moderno if you want to see the real thing. Thanks for all the great images on your blog–loved the snow-capped mountains.
