Recuerdos del Pasado, Giclee on Paper, 16.5” x 21.5”
Mario Sanchez’s
Recuerdos del Pasado (Memories of the Past) portrays Alfredo Diaz’s bodega and sandwich shop on the corner of Simonton and Virginia St. with the former Convent towering above on the extreme left. The great, great granddaughter still lives upstairs today as they have for generations. There was a gate to St. Mary's back then and you can see it behind the nun who is holding Lydia's hand. Crawfish Jack is pushing his crawfish and conch pushcart. The intaglio depicts a chicken and her three chicks in the middle of Virginia St. along with Royal Poinsiannas, a Spanish Almond and coconut tree, and two clouds. This was a gift to Alfredo Diaz.
