Virgin of Guadalupe Series Postcard Set of 9 | Yolanda López Portrait of the Artist Exhibition

"I feel like living, breathing women also deserve the respect and love lavished on Guadalupe...It is a call to look at women, hardworking, enduring and mundane, as the heroines of our daily lives." - Yolanda López

For Yolanda López, the Virgin of Guadalupe was a complex and generative symbol.  As the most visible image of womanhood in Mexican and Mexican American culture, López visually deconstruct and reconstructs Our Lady of Guadalupe by inserting a range of pre-Columbian goddesses to contemporary working-class women into the Virgin's accustomed place.
