Here is a unique opportunity to collect Zuniga lithographs, paintings and
sculpture. The lithographs we list in detail, other pricing
and photos not included are available upon inquiry. This is a private
offering from a Texas art collection.

     "Francisco Zuniga's graphic work speaks to us forcefully and provides
a distinctly memorable image of humanity
     in the twentieth century. He bears witness to a people, his people.
His noble, even classic figures bridge the gap
     between prehispanic and contemporary images, suggesting an unbending
spirit that spans generations.

     Zuniga's printmaking reflects the same artistic sensibility and
meticulous craftsmanship found in his sculpture,
     offering essential insights into his total production as an artist.
The artist's favorite point of departure is usually the
     female figure, of the graceful women of Southeastern Mexico. He has
described his life's work as a continuous
     representation of "feminity", involved in contemplative situations of
daily life.

     Zuniga's statement is so strong that the relationship to its earlier
roots in ancient and modern art may not be
     immediately evident. The Pre-Columbian art of the Mayans, Olmec and
Aztecs; the religious art of Central
     America, the figurines of the Chorotega and Huetar Indians; the
revolutionary art of Mexico - Rivera, Orozco,
     Sigueiros; the work of Rodin, Barlach, Brancusi, Maillol and Moore;
the South Sea women of Gauguin; are all
     understood and synthesized in Zuniga's body of work."

     Zuniga, 1987, Jerry Brewster, Alpine Fine Arts Collection Ltd. pp
17-24.
