Description
From El Día de los Muertos 1983 Exhibition at Galería de la Raza, organized by Ralph Maradiaga and René Yáñez. In this sculpture, a body is laid out in a decorated coffin in the center. It is surrounded by mourners holding candles. They appear to be wearing masks and long beards, and thus resemble the Chorus of Ancient Greek theatre.
