of Luis Covarrubias
Luis
Covarrubias (1919-1987) was born in Mexico City. His
father and his older brother (Miguel Covarrubias) were
interested in painting as well as archeology and folk arts.
Luis published and illustrated books about folk art, native
costumes and dances. He painted murals, sometimes together
with his brother Miguel. His collection of paintings entitled
'magic time' was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in
Mexico (1974) with much success.
