Rodolfo Abularach (Guatemala City, 1933)
Sueño (Dream), Lithograph, 1969

"After working as a draftsman for a few years at the Museum of Anthropology in Guatemala City, Abularach developed a repertoire of abstract images inspired by Mayan pre-Columbian art. From the late 1960s until the early 1980s, however, the artist dedicated himself to exploring an ingenious metaphor, representing through the magnification of the human eye and its infinite physical reactions a world that evolves in ever-changing moods and circumstances. These images are simultaneously elusive and eloquent, as indecipherable as the secrets of a human soul. This lithograph is also in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York."
