Title
- Sheet of caricatures, no. 1
Summary
- Two pages of a personal note from the artist to Mathias, illustrated with several caricatures, apparently of mutual acquaintances. On the first page, beginning at the upper left and moving from top to bottom are: "Rufian Tamarindo", or Rufino Tamayo, holding a palette and brush; art dealer Antonio Souza, identified as "Tono;" "Mathias," Mathias Goertz, the recipient of the letter, dressed in a striped suit; a heavyset man with a mustache and checkered shirt named "P. Coronel," whom is Pedro Coronel, the printer. On the right side of the page from top to bottom are: artist David Alfaro Siqueiros with the body of a bird, art critic Ceferino Palencia referred to as "Don Cefe;" and Anguiano labelled "Anguiano" (possibly a painter) who points at a canvas labeled, "Maternidad."
