Summary
The author presents the history evolution of the mosaic production since ancient Greek and Roman tiles and Pre-Columbian mosaic pieces along the history of "Mosaicos Venicianos de Mexico", a factory and workshop owned and operated by the Perdomo family for over 50 years. In the workshop located in Cuernavaca (state of Morelos, Mexico) several generations of mosaicists have produced glass Byzantine mosaic tiles while upholding the highs tandards of the traditional craft of the tesserae with extraordinary examples of contemporary mosaic art displayed in murals and architectural ornamentation. The company has participated with artists Jose Chavez Morado, Diego Rivera, Juan O'Gorman, David Alfaro Siqueiros and Francisco Eppens amongst others in the creation of monumental public mosaic murals"--Provided by vendor
