Guilbeau loved Mexico, especially its people and landscape, and traveled there frequently for the winters, first landing there in the 1930s. She could be seen in Mexico with sketchbook in hand, clambering onto rooftops for a better view of her chosen scene. Guilbeau's relationship with Mexico resulted in a rich body of work that reflects the depth and vibrancy of Mexican culture. Mexican themes and subjects often appeared in her art, from traditional celebrations and daily life to the natural beauty of the Mexican landscape. As a result, her work brought greater exposure in the United States to Mexican culture and traditions. Here Guilbeau captures the Mexican tradition of outdoor textile markets. Mexico has a rich and storied history of textile production, with its oldest discovered fabric fragments from approximately between 1800 and 1400 BCE. By 1580, Mexico had become one of the most productive areas for wool and silk cloth. Mexico's textile industry plays a crucial role in the nation's economy and culture. Passed down from generation to generation, Mexico’s handcrafted textiles are nationally valued and a major draw for tourism. Traditional indigenous items such as rebozos (shawls) and huipiles (tunics) have intricate, colorful designs often filled with symbolism that has been passed down within families. Guilbeau's "Textile Market" is painted in a Modernist style. Not highly detailed, it's a suggestion of a scene that skirts the line between realism and abstraction. The fabric itself is a work of art; varied rectangular shapes in a multitude of colors creating a patchwork background. Guilbeau infused her textures with a soft, almost ethereal quality, outlining them in sharp detail. Often, her color choices are subdued and harmonious, enhancing the serene and contemplative mood of her pieces. The style of her work draws comparisons to Mexican mural artist Diego Rivera, who likely inspired her.
