Street Scene, Mexico 19th-20th century

Editor: This watercolor sketch, "Street Scene, Mexico" by Denman Waldo Ross, feels so airy and light. There's a kind of dreaminess to the scene. What do you see in this piece? Curator: Well, it's like a visual poem, isn't it? Ross captures the essence of a place, more than its literal form. The pink buildings, the distant hills, everything feels fleeting, like a memory. I wonder what story that donkey cart could tell? Editor: That's a lovely way to put it. I was so focused on the technique, I almost missed the story! Curator: Art, at its best, invites us into a quiet conversation, doesn't it? I'm glad we could listen together.
