About the Item
MORTON DIMONDSTEIN (NY 1920 - LA 2000)
MARKET IN ERONGARICUARO 1954
Serigraph, silkscreen. Signed titled and dated in pencil. Image 10 ¼ x 25 ½ inches. Large full sheet 17 1/4 x 30 ¼. Some mild light toning around the image and a little soiling in the margins. Otherwise in good condition.
Erongricuaro is an Artist hangout in Michoacan, Mexico.
Very nice serigraph in the WPA tradition. Morton Dimondstein's serigraphs are rare. There is regionalist scene "Industrial # 1", dated 1948, in the National Gallery of Art from the Dave & Reba Williams Collection of Serigraphy. Serigraphy (Silkscreen) was first used for fine art purposes during the WPA. Although this print is later than that, it harkens back to those images, Dimondstein went on the produce very fine color woodcuts.
The following obituary appeared in the Los Angeles Times on December 7, 2000:
Morton Dimondstein, 80, Los Angeles artist noted for woodcuts in the Mexican realist tradition who also was a collector and curator of African art. Dimondstein grew up in New York City, where he attended the American Artists School and the Art Students League. After serving in the infantry during World War II, he moved to Los Angeles and studied at the Otis Art Institute. Influenced by the Mexican muralist tradition, he lived in Mexico City for several years and produced woodcuts that were praised by the great Mexican painter and muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros. Dimondstein also was a sculptor whose work was called “unpretentious . . . honest, handcrafted” by a Los Angeles Times critic. His paintings and sculptures appeared in many galleries and museums, most recently the Jan Baum Gallery in Los Angeles. He also was prominent as a collector and curator of African art and founded Dimondstein Tribal Arts in 1964 to showcase African tribal art he had collected on travels throughout Europe and Africa since the 1950s. He helped organize the first major U.S. shows of tribal art from the Benue Valley in Nigeria and of Betak art from Sumatra. On Nov. 27 in Los Angeles after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.

El Mercado de Pátzcuaro II
Located in Palm Springs, CA
El Mercado de Pátzcuaro II captures a glimpse of daily life in the highland town of Pátzcuaro, Michoacán. The scene shows three Indigenous figures, rendered with bold lines and earthy tones, standing amid the bustle of the market. Two men in traditional white cotton clothing and wide-brimmed straw hats stand in conversation, their woven baskets and bundles suggesting they are either arriving to sell goods or preparing to return home with their purchases. Beside them, a woman cloaked in a dark rebozo gazes outward, her expression reflective and steady, grounding the composition with a quiet dignity. The strong woodcut textures emphasize folds of fabric, rough straw, and woven fiber, reminding the viewer of the handmade traditions that sustain the culture.
The marketplace of Pátzcuaro has long been a hub of commerce and cultural exchange, and Oñate’s print conveys both the social energy and the rooted traditions of this setting. The figures are depicted not as anonymous passersby but as individuals whose posture, clothing, and belongings tell stories of community, resilience, and labor. The muted yet warm palette, accented with yellows and reds, suggests early morning light spilling across the plaza’s cobblestones, while the abstracted background blocks provide rhythm and structure without distracting from the human presence.
Francisco Rodríguez Oñate (1940–2019) was a distinguished Mexican post-war and contemporary artist whose career extended over several decades throughout Mexico, the United States, and Latin America. Born in Michoacán, he received his education at the Escuela Popular de Bellas Artes at the University of Michoacán, where he studied under esteemed artists such as Alfredo Zalce, Roberto Martínez, and Javier Arévalo...
