This site is very interesting, but I don't understand why the traditional textiles are not inclued in a category of Art. I see that only painters are consider like artists. Please, could you send me some comments of your opinion about that? Thanks to take consideration about my request rapidely!

[Ed. Note: The women who weave the Guatemalan textiles are indeed artists. I believe (but cannot prove) that the Mayan painters are so good in part because the beautiful Guatemalan weavings were an integral part of their lives and traditions. There are many people who are importing, documenting, and collecting Guatemalan textiles, but few people as yet are knowledgeable about the Mayan oil painters. It is up to some of these textile experts to develope a Guatemalan textile web page. This site is devoted to the Tz'utuhil Mayan oil painters.]

Your website is wonderfully organized and easy to use. The gallery offers a beautiful selection of Indigenous Guatemalan artists, whose works seem to closely resemble to the originals. I work for the Latin American Library at Tulane University in New Orleans. Our collection contains two paintings by Rafael Gonzalez y Gonzalez, which were donated to us this year. I'ts great to be able to see the work of others working in a similar style.

I'm on a 10-week assignment downtown, working on a Brazil power plant project, and have a terrific computer that lets me appreciate how great your site is. I've bookmarked it, and can pop into it any time, to keep pace with your updates. I work with several Spanish-speaking secretaries here at Enron which made me think immediately to call up your cyber-museum --- now I see why it's considered to be among the finest! Next, the Diggers. ...

This is a great web page. Of course I'm not a computer nerd but I guess it's pretty good. I love the paintings their beutiful. I wish I had some on my wall, BUT they would look really bad with my COOL posters of my Leo baby, OR Leonardo DeCaprio. So I guess they wouldn't look very good.

hola jose --- just stopped by to see the new stuff by pedro raphael. i like the cornsy dia de gracia and the rembrandtesque candlelight spinning scene. the atmospheric cathedral steps are good, too. i guess i was expecting something more overtly political from the goya of guatemala, though. but i suppose every painting can't be a life-risking expose. guarda la fe.

Hi. I lived in San Pedro 1993-1994, and stayed there recently during Sept.-Nov. of this year. Really enjoyed the photos, but it made me miss San Pedro again. Great to learn about some of the people I have lived among. Anyone going to San Pedro, be sure to say hi to Sascha for me.

I do not think that you did a good job on this sight. I cannot even read and I am 26 years old. Please can't you make it more understandable.
