Comments: This rather small painting was placed in the left corner between "Grandparents" and "Obatala." It is placed in Image #8 in this professor-curated digital show so as to continue the figurative and animate theme. The Spanish word pájaros means birds. (The birds seem to me to be mountain bluebirds.)
Humanities Questions: (A) Describe this work. (B) How is this painting related to the works in García Ferraz #6 and García Ferraz #7? (C) Which of these three works do you prefer and explain your preference. (D) What is the possible relationship between this painting and the Latin American theme of Magical Realism (lo real maravilloso)?
