This week's featured printmaker, Jean Charlot, was born in France, painted murals in Mexico, and taught art across the US, before finally making his home in Hawaii. His sacred art was strongly influenced by Mexican and Polynesian culture, incorporating rounded figures that seem molded from clay or carved in wood. My latest art offering from Charlot is a richly chiaroscuro lithograph depicting an evening religious procession in Chalma, Mexico, a pilgrimage site dating back to Pre-Columbian times where a miraculous image of Christ on the Cross is said to have supplanted an idol of the jaguar god worshipped by indigenous peoples. Their black-banged, stylized faces illuminated by points of torch and candle light, the faithful carry images of Our Lady of Sorrows and Veronica's Veil in a scene drawn from Charlot's memories of his Mexican sojourn. This new lithograph can be found in the gallery of the Jean Charlot profile page in the School of Sacred Artists section. (John Kohan)
