Mexican Gothic

Public Deposited

This print is the twenty-seventh item of a print collection by a printmaker named Gordon. It is titled Mexican Gothic. While there are more pieces of this nature, Mexican Gothic has a distinguished color palette. In stark contrast to the olive green typically used by Gordon, this print makes heavy use of ultramarine and cobalt blue for background. In addition, the white framing of the antiquated city pictured corresponds with the white outlining of the moon. This communicates to the viewer that it is night without any elements of realism.

Thomas Gordon. American artist. Gordon was a professor of Art at Hanover from 1959-1966.
