I've wanted for a few days now to add some panels by the nineteenth century self-taught Mexican painter, Hermenegildo Bustos, to this ostensibly public forum. Last Saturday I was describing to a friend, a Mexican farmer from Jalisco, the marvelous work of this artist from Guanajuato. My friend wasn't familiar with the terms "bodegon" or "ex voto," but he remembered the term "retablo." I plan to bring my book on Bustos to the Farmers' Market this Sunday to show Apolinar what I was talking about.
