A native of Los Angeles, she first started collecting Chicano art in the 1980s and was drawn to Mexico by the vibrancy of its culture and traditions. She loved the rich colors she found everywhere, from the brilliant reds and blues of the papier-mache flowers adorning the ofrendas or altars to the dead to the dusky yellow of the marigolds lining pathways leading to the ofrendas in both private homes and cemeteries. As Murdy's hauntingly beautiful images show, in Mexico death is considered a part of life and something to be celebrated rather than feared. El dia de los muertos (which actually lasts two days on November 1-2) is a time to gather with friends and families to feast, pray, dance, and honor the lives of those who have died. From the preparation of the food and flowers to the sanctification of the public and private spaces, to the ceremony itself, Murdy captures the spirit, beauty, and magic of this sacred observance. 546 $a In Spanish and English. 650 0 $a All Souls' Day $z Mexico $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Marigolds $z Mexico $v Pictorial works. 651 0 $a Mexico $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Photography, Artistic. 650 7 $a All Souls' Day. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00805442 650 7 $a Marigolds. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01009255 650 7 $a Photography, Artistic. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061964 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 655 7 $a Pictorial works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423874 700 1 $a Moreno, Cesareo, $e writer of added text. 700 1 $a Chavez, Denise, $e writer of foreword. 700 1 $a Escobedo, Reverie V., $e translator. 700 1 $a Escobedo O., Raul, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025404.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0298156E5F0811ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
