La Tienda de Catarino translates to “Catarino’s Store,” though many in the Cypress Street Barrio knew it simply as the Cypress Street Market. At the time Emigdio painted it in 1978, it was the second family-owned market on the block - just a few doors down from Emelia’s Market.
Catarino was a well-known resident of the neighborhood, and this painting captures the heart of local community life.
