DIMENSIONS: 24”H x 18”W Oswaldo Guayasamin (1(contact info removed)) was active/lived in United States, Ecuador. Oswaldo Guayasamin is known for Expressionist paintings and sculptures focused on social issues and human suffering Oswaldo Guayasamin Born: 1919 - Quito, Ecuador Died: 1999 - Quito, Ecuador Oswaldo Guayasamin was born in 1919 in Quito, Ecuador. He was the oldest of ten children in a poor family. He enrolled at Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes in Quito against his father's wishes and studied architecture and painting. Guayasamin is a passionate, plump and indefatigable Ecuadorian Indian (the name means " white bird flying" in Inca). He studied with Orozco and has a similar social consciousness, amounting to aching rage at Man's inhumanities, and a similar range of technique, from abstraction to hammer-blunt realism. But his subject matter, Equador, is all his own; he sees it as a tragic land. Following his first exhibition in Ecuador, he was invited by the US State Department to show in a traveling exhibit in the United States of America. He also traveled to Peru, Chile, Argentina and Bolivia and painted a series of 103 paintings focusing on life among the poor Indians and Blacks of Latin America. He exhibited in Quito, Caracas, Washington, DC and in Barcelona. He also painted murals, two of which are in Quito. He visited Cuba, China, Russia and painted many heads of state, including Salvador Allende. He dedicated a museum to the town of Quito. He died in 1999 in Quito. Oswaldo Guayasamín and Ernesto Che Guevara Ecuador and Argentina Che de Santa Clara Museum received a donation The New Don Quixote of America Guayasamín Foundation Drawn in 1975 the New Quixote of America by Oswaldo Guayasamín Guayasamín's work donated to the Ernesto Che Guevara Memorial Sculpture Complex, in Santa Clara Freddy Pérez Cabrera Santa Clara.- With the delivery to the Ernesto Guevara Sculpture Complex of Santa Clara, of a gigantography that reproduces a portrait of Che called El Nuevo Quixote of America, drawn in 1975 by the Ecuadorian painter Oswaldo Guayasamín, by his son Pablo, president of the Foundation that perpetuates and disseminates his father's work, the activities in Cuba culminated for the 90th anniversary of the birth of the famous Ecuadorian and universal painter. The work El Nuevo Quijote de América was delivered by Pablo Guayasamín (right), son of the great Ecuadorian painter, to the Ernesto Guevara Sculptural Complex, in Santa Clara. When delivering the gift, the son of the prestigious artist said that "the light of Guayasamín goes all over America. It is the light of Fidel, Che, Martí, Bolívar, Manuelita Sáenz, who today travels the continent, the same light that illuminates all of us who dream of a better world." He recalled the bonds of brotherhood that unite the peoples of Cuba and Ecuador, and ratified that the Foundation, heir to his father's teachings and humanistic ethics, will always be next to this Island of Freedom, a legacy principle since the very triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959. During the exchange, in which young Ecuadorians who study in our country participated, the poet José Regato, who dedicated tenths to the Painter of Ibero-America and Pedro Martínez Pírez, honorary member of the Guayasamín Foundation and deputy director of Radio Habana Cuba, were also present, who highlighted the historical links between the two peoples. In an atmosphere of songs and allegorical poems on Oswaldo Guayasamín's birthday, a brochure containing images of a collection of first copies of engravings by the painter Francisco de Goya was delivered to the Sculpture Complex, under the title Los desastres de la guerra, which Guayasamín had acquired, who considered himself an admirer of the work of the Spanish artist.
