About the Item

This finely crafted black-on-buff geometric olla by Juan Quezada Celado features interlocking stepped and square-grid motifs that wrap around the vessel in a precise, rhythmic pattern. The top view reveals a complex radiating motif, demonstrating the high level of craftsmanship for which Quezada is known. Stone-burnished to a soft sheen, the surface shows excellent clarity between the black pigment and the warm buff clay. The signature is discreetly incised inside the neck ring to preserve the uninterrupted geometric design. Signed by the artist. Excellent condition with no visible chips or cracks. The vessel’s balanced proportions, exacting line work, and complete coverage of geometric patterning make this a particularly strong example of Quezada’s mature aesthetic.

Corazon De Aztlan, by Frank Romero
By Frank Romero
Located in Palm Springs, CA
"Corazón De Aztlán," a vibrant print by Chicano artist Frank Romero, encapsulates the complex interplay of cultural identity, love, and urban life. The artwork showcases a striking heart motif, layered with abstract shapes and colors that evoke the spirit of Aztlán, the mythical ancestral home of the Aztec people. Among the bold designs, a subtly hidden image of a car emerges, symbolizing the fusion of traditional heritage with modernity and the everyday experiences of Chicano life in urban settings. This duality reflects the artist's exploration of cultural pride, community, and the journey of self-discovery, making it a poignant representation of contemporary Chicano art. Throughout his 50-year career as an artist, Frank Romero has been a dedicated member of the Los Angeles arts community. As a member of the 1970s Chicano art collective, Los Four, Romero and fellow artists Carlos Almaraz, Beto de la Rocha...
