Wooden Hand Painted Folk Art Cross from La Palma El Salvador, Naive Style Primitive Art 7" x 12" x .5" Folk Art 90
La Palma is a town transformed by art. Visitors to this community of 24,000 in the mountainous north of the Central American nation of El Salvador marvel at amazing colorful wall murals decorating homes, hotels, restaurants, and shop fronts along its winding streets. There are stylized vistas of villages with variegated tile roofs, gaudily-plumed mythical birds, even psychedelic armadillos-- looking half like Picasso paintings, half like Mayan pictographs. This "La Palma Style" reproduced on countless painted wood folk art objects, has come to represent Salvadoran contemporary art to the outside world.
