La Celestina 

José Luis Cuevas created "La Celestina," a 46 x 35 cm print that delves into the human condition through a fractured lens. Cuevas emerged as a counter-figure to the muralist movement in Mexico. He embraced individualism, a sentiment that reflects the broader socio-political tensions of the time. The artwork explores themes of identity, alienation, and the grotesque. Cuevas was critical of political and social orthodoxies. "La Celestina" visually dissects its subject, mirroring the psychological fragmentation experienced in modern society. The distorted features and the lines etched into the figure's face may evoke feelings of discomfort. This piece doesn't offer a traditional representation of beauty. It challenges us to confront the darker aspects of the self and society. It's a reflection on the emotional and psychological scars that life can inflict.
