This powerful modernist work is a lithograph by the celebrated Mexican artist Francisco Dosamantes (1911–1986). Titled Three Women with Braids (Tres Mujeres con Trenzas), the composition depicts three figures from behind, their long, intricately braided hair serving as the central focal point. The work is characterized by Dosamantes' signature style, which often featured monumental figures and bold, graphic linework influenced by the Mexican Muralist movement. The stark contrast and rhythmic repetition of the braids create a sense of unity and quiet strength. Dosamantes was a prominent member of the Taller de Gráfica Popular, and his works are held in major institutions including the Dallas Museum of Art. This piece is a significant example of mid-century Latin American printmaking, celebrating traditional themes through a sophisticated modernist lens.
