Additional Notes:
The “Women of Corn” is based on the Mayan belief that humans had been fashioned out of corn. In this painting we see that each corn maiden is a different color. These colors have a symbolism that is linked to the directions in the universe. Black is West and represents the sun going down under the horizon in the subterranean world. Red is East and represents the reappearance of the rising sun. Yellow is the South, the gold light and White is North where it is cold and without color.
