PAINTED PIG

Produced by Harmon foundation in 1943. Demonstrates in color the origins of Mexican art in the lives of the people. A trip thru the village market life—the cattle being driven to market, and the primitive trace form from the background. As she falls asleep, Carmelita's mother tells her about market day and how the painted pig is made in the courtyard of his home, the artist kneads his clay and forms the body of the pig over a mold and completes the project.
