I am no artist nor do I claim to be one, but those are some seriously cool paintings and sculptures. Pedro Friedeberg seems like he would be a real hoot to hang out with. His paintings may have meaning but I'm not quite seeing it. I would go to see a Friedeberg exhibit simply because it would be cool not because I want to find out what the artist meant when painting these. I would love to know why he likes hands so much. All of his sculptures are made of hands and some feet. They look awesome and I want one for my house, but why so many hands?
The author says he thought he knew Pedro until he read his biography and then he puts in a quote from Friedeberg himself. He doesn't say much at all. He lets the pictures speak for themselves. If a picture says a thousand words I have to say that these painting are worth far more than a thousand.
