Foto Escultura

What is a foto escultura?? The technique of photo-sculpture exemplified in the work offered here is uniquely Mexican. It began in the Districto Federal in the 1930s to commemorate significant events in the lives of Mexican and Mexican-American families. The photo images of individuals are captured, cut, and shaped to fit on a thin hand-carved wooden sculpture with a dimensional impact that is very lifelike. The sculptures are generally housed in simple wooden frames between two panes of glass and incorporate the mediums of photography, painting, and sculpture.

 

This one is probably from the 1930’s or the 1940’s and absolutely gorgeous.  $250.20140607-114943-42583749.jpg
