Alfredo Zalce
 |
The woodcut symbolizes two divisions of the Toltec warrior societies vying for favor
with their leader and the ruling class. There were great rivalries and jealousies
between divisions of the Toltec army. In 1964 Alfredo Zalce, Pablo O'Higgins,
Rufino Tamayo, and other notable artists, were asked to create work for the
exhibition halls at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. Zalce's
image above is one in a series of prints he did for the exhibition.
I was apprenticed to Alfredo Zalce in 1963. In the summer of 1965 writer/painter
David Hubbard and I visited Zalce in Morelia. Zalce graciously allowed us to select
two prints from the Toltec series which he had just completed. RT
