LA VALENTINA (1938)
LA VALENTINA (1938)
Artist: unknown
La Valentina took its title from a pre-revolutionary song that later was considered as a corrido for soldaderas (poetry song for female soldiers). It is in fact a romantic song. In the movie, Valentina (Esperanza Baur) is the daughter of rich ranchers. Engaged to a tough man, she comes to prefer Miguel (Jorge Negrete), a revolutionary general that kidnaps her but behaves in a respectful and nicer manner towards her. The poster is a stunning romantic image of “Valentina” and the general beside the horse used to kidnap her. The design and coloring are masterful. This is another stone lithography artwork which gives better depth and texture over photo lithography. La Valentina is one of the most favorite stone lithographs in the Institute’s collection.
FloatER
The artwork floats off the wall without a visible frame. There is a ¾” metal frame on the reverse to keep the artwork off the wall and to which we attach the hanging cleats. This presentation is most often preferred by collectors, and we believe the best presentation for the artwork. This is how you will receive the artwork. Ready to hang.
You May Frame
If your preference is for a framed artwork, your local frame shop will have many frame options for you to choose from. Pictured as an example is a simple 1” matte black frame which adds approximately 3” to the height and width of your artwork. We cannot guarantee that the artwork as delivered will fit all available frames.
