Painted
Walls of Mexico |
| Crossing into Mexico from the United States, orderly
beige suburbs give way to handmade, stuccoed walls painted
all the colors of an unruly rainbow. Flamboyant purple,
hot pink, and aqua compete with ripe watermelon red,
yolk yellow, and lime green--the rich, tempting colors
of icy Mexican snow cones on a summer’s afternoon.
Jeffrey Becom is a fine art photographer and painter
trained as an architect. He has roamed the backroads
of Mexico for more than a decade, documenting the country’s
vibrant hues while celebrating the indigenous cultures
that keep these color traditions alive. |

Colors
of Guatemala |
| The ancient Maya of Guatemala created a sacred map
of their universe that bound the four cardinal directions,
the path of the sun, and the cycle of human life to five
symbolic hues--blood red, corn yellow, jade green, black
for the Underworld, and white for change. This colorful
symbolism lives on in Maya architecture, painting, pottery,
and traditional weaving. Jeffrey Becom has traveled throughout
Guatemala documenting the remarkable continuity of the
Maya’s sacred colors. Here he records the textiles
and culture of Guatemala’s Maya in twenty-four
blazingly colorful photographs with descriptive captions. |
