EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 18th century oil on canvas painting, titled "IX. From Spaniard and Albino, Return Backwards" (De español y albina, torna atrás), was created by Juan Patricio Morlete Ruiz around 1760. The painting depicts an intriguing scene of a young albino boy standing next to a dark-skinned Spaniard man, both dressed in colonial attire. The title of the painting suggests a sense of reversal or return, adding an element of intrigue to the image. The painting is a poignant representation of the complexities of identity and heritage during the colonial period. The contrasting skin tones and the juxtaposition of the two figures highlight the diverse population of Mexico during this time. The painting is also a beautiful example of the artistic techniques popular during the 18th century, with its rich colors and meticulous attention to detail. The painting is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), making it an important addition to the museum's extensive collection of Latin American art. Morlete Ruiz, a Mexican painter, is known for his mastery of the European painting tradition, and this work is a testament to his skill and artistic vision. The painting invites viewers to reflect on the historical context of colonialism and the rich cultural heritage of Mexico, while also appreciating the beauty and craftsmanship of the artwork itself.
