Event Description

Gregorio Luke presents the final Murals presentation at The Museum of Latin American Art for this summer. The series features work by Miguel Covarrubias, Mexico’s most versatile artist; a painter, muralist, cartoonist, filmmaker, anthropologist, author, dance promoter and curator. In addition to projecting Covarrubias murals paintings and cartoons, the presentation will include live performances evoking the cultures that impacted Covarrubias’ work.

Covarrubias was an artist who travelled and united many worlds. He was among the first to paint the Harlem Renaissance; the world of Jazz and blues. Later, while living in Bali, he would create beautiful images of that culture and continue similarly documenting cultures in China, Latin America, and most spectacularly Oaxaca nd Southern Mexico.
