Jaime Saldivar

Jaime Saldívar was a Mexican postwar and contemporary artist who was born in 1926.  He traveled through the towns of Mexico (Puebla, Oaxaca, and Veracruz) to observe life and customs: the churches, convents, dishes, and handicrafts.  He later painted these items in the figures and figurations of his paintings with a “naive” style — which is characterized by a childlike simplicity and frankness.
