EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Hugh Rooney captures the vibrant and lively atmosphere of the Las Fallas festival in Valencia, Spain. The image showcases a scene from Plaza Ayuntamiento, where Papier Mache figures adorn a Bus Turistic, adding an element of whimsy to the already festive ambiance. Las Fallas is a traditional celebration held annually in Valencia, honoring St. Joseph. The festival is renowned for its elaborate papier mache caricatures and puppets known as ninots, which are displayed throughout the city during this time. These figures often depict satirical scenes or famous personalities, showcasing both artistic creativity and social commentary. The photograph beautifully portrays the pageantry and colorfulness of Las Fallas. Each figure on the bus exudes intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail, reflecting the dedication that goes into creating these effigies. The explosion of colors adds to the visual spectacle while symbolizing joy and excitement. While this photo does not mention commercial use or any specific company associated with it, it serves as a wonderful representation of European culture and traditions. It encapsulates the essence of Las Fallas - a celebration filled with music, fireworks, parades, street parties - all culminating in burning these magnificent creations at midnight on March 19th. Hugh Rooney's skillful composition allows viewers to immerse themselves in this cultural extravaganza even if they have never experienced it firsthand. This print truly captures the spirit of Las Fallas: an enchanting blend of artistry, satire
