About the Item

Nahuala Market Day in Guatemala by artist William Kalwick depicts a typical market in one of the local towns that are held throughout Guatemala. Each town in Guatemala has their market on one or two specific days of the week except in the Capital where they are held daily. The bright fabrics aka huipils that the women are wearing signify the region or ethnic groups of the various Indian/Maya people. This painting includes a custom handmade frame. This scene is of a typical Guatemalan Indigenous highland village market in Guatemala. Nahuala Market Day in Guatemala depicts a man who has travelled from a distant village to this town to sell his fruit.. Other Kalwick paintings are shown below. Nahuala Nearly the entire population of the municipality is made up of ethnic K'iche' Maya who speak the K'iche' language. The population of the township is estimated to be between 50,000 and 85,000 individuals, about 10% of whom live in the head-town. Statistics vary widely because much of the township's territory and several large villages are also claimed by Nahualá' sister township, Santa Catarina Ixtahuacán. Kalwick’s paintings cover a wide range of subject matter. However, he is best known for his Guatemalan market scenes, Guatemalan figurative work, and portraits. Recent portrait commissions include Harold Hook, retiring CEO of American General Corp.; Reese Jones, international golf course designer; and Paul Merriman, retiring CEO of Hisco Corp. Kalwick was honored for the second time with a one-man show sponsored by the United States Embassy at the Museo Ixchel in Guatemala City. Southwest Art magazine featured Kalwick’s work on the cover and elaborated upon his style in an article titled “Guatemala Days.” He also was featured in Art of the West magazine .
