MWW Artwork of the Day (11/7/20) Saturnino Herrán (Mexican, 1887-1918) La Ofrenda (The Offering)(1913) Oil on canvas, 182 x 210 cm. Museo Nacional de Arte, Mexico City  

"The Offering" exemplifies Mexican modernism with its allegorical allusion to life’s journey. It displays a punt boat in a canal filled with zempasúchitl flowers (a marigold that is traditionally associated with death). Featured are a baby, a youthful man, and an elderly man offering the flowers for the dead. This is a reference to ofrenda, a tradition deeply connected to Mexico's Dia de los Muertos, a celebration of ancestry that is said to connect the living to the dead. Each character represents a different stage of life, but they are all following the same end destination and respecting their course. When Herran died, his widowed wife requested "The Offering," yet it was taken to the National Fine Arts Institute. Herrán's works gave credence to the “spiritual beauty of the native people of Mexico in exquisite drawings of Indians whose languid silhouettes stand out against freely interpreted backgrounds of Pre-Columbian sculpture.”

"ummm ... correct me if i am wrong wikipedia, but you might also just as accurately say 'featured are a baby, a young girl, and an elderly woman offering the flowers'" ... al janik

Todos los gestos de mi cuerpo y de mi voz para hacer de mí la ofrenda, el ramo que abandona el viento en el umbral.
