... and yet..... when I look at his work like this:

....I think -- Aha! Mexican! (and I've really enjoyed many Jalisco
terracotta
figures - there was a big exhibit of them here about 7 years ago --
and here's
a nice big, private collection of more contemporary work:

Might we then conclude that Mando has lacked the imagination to
move beyond
his ethnic background ? Or -- perhaps -- when looking at art --
the wise
viewer should ignore such possible associations -- and focus on
what is more
universal?
I don't think Mando lacks imagination at all -- except, perhaps in
his rather
boiler-plate, universal artist's statement.
But then -- I don't care about art -- I only care about all the
attractive
ways of seeing the world.
