Untitled is a 1931 ink by José Pavón, depicting Domestic Worker, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a black-and-white print of a woman ironing at a board, her back to us. The iron is huge—almost as big as her head. It’s not glamorous work, but the lines are so clean you can feel the weight of the iron and the heat of the room. Pavón made this in 1931, when most Mexican prints were about revolution; here, he just shows everyday labor. Look up lithography next to see how ink sticks to stone to make prints like this.
José Alexander Pabón de la Cruz is an Ecuadorian footballer who plays as a defender for Técnico Universitario.He is the nephew of the historic Ecuadorian footballer Ulises de la Cruz.
