Title Virgin's seed, Boyle Heights, 1991

Description Virgin's seed, Boyle Heights, 1991. David Lee Market, exterior, Hazard Avenue at Hammel Street. A contemporary tribute to a traditional Mexican icon, the Virgin of Guadalupe. Two giants surround the Virgin. The blue giant represents the future. His color in part reflects the artist's concern over the effects of pollution and other environmental crises. The other giant is a woman. She is a teacher, modelled after Botello's sister, and holds gifts of knowledge in her hand. Botello grew up in this neighborhood, and his family attends the church that sponsored the mural. Acrylic, 15' x 50', by Paul Botello. Sponsored by Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. -- Dunitz, Street gallery, rev. 2nd ed., p. 311, #71.
