Eduardo Augustine

Another opinion column by José Morales Vásquez, published at Eduardo Augustine’s request, that transcribes press coverage from the early 1980s. It covers a 1983 solo show of 22 works at the Sala Panarte of the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo in Ancón, and a well-attended show at Galería Habitante. It describes his subjects, dilapidated houses, old walls and barefoot children, drawn from the poverty he saw where he lived, and his first trip to Spain in 1979, where he visited the Prado almost daily.
