Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) presents Murals Under the Stars by Gregorio Luke

Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) presents Murals Under the Stars by Gregorio Luke on August 5th 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM.

The final Murals presentation for this summer end with 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 and Southern Mexico. His pioneering spirit led him to venture into archaeology, anthropology and even had a hand in initiating the Golden Age of Mexican Dance, becoming its most ardent promoter.
