CARLOS FUENTES, VIENDO VISIONES
¿Quién imprimió por primera vez la planta de su pie en la arena y se percató de ello? ¿Quién arañó por primera vez la corteza
de un árbol para dejar constancia de su paso por la selva?
Who first printed the sole of his foot in the sand and noticed it? Who scratched the bark of a tree for the first
time to record its passage through the jungle?
Forum: Do you consider art or design these prints found in Cueva de las manos?
