This painting of Mexican boys playing marbles is the first Luis Amendolla original I bought. I found it to be elegant – and a good representation of one aspect of the Mexican culture – so I had it reproduced on the cover of our menu. Customers complimented the art on a regular basis, and the image became closely identified with La Fonda. Illustration by Luis Amendolla, courtesy of La Fonda Restaurant, Lafayette, La. |
