This topic gave him the opportunity to participate in a joint exhibition with other artists in the “Cremata” Gallery on 8th Street in Miami.

Chucho likes to recreate on the small details that sometimes only God would look at it, but he spends time on each line, as it would be by itself a magnificent piece of art. Currently Jesus (Chucho) lives in the city of Davie, Florida. There has his art studio at home where his works continuously express himself through lines, shapes and colors. So far, he has sold some of his work to private art collectors, and currently looking for a broker that could in charge of promoting and selling his

For achieving the dramaticizing effect or creating a sense of eye-witnessing, the artworks can also encourge the spectator “to identify with a victor or a victim” which I believe this is closely relevant with the painting I am going to analyze further in the paper. At this point, I want to briefly mention about theatricality and its close relation to Orientalism as a discourse in general and to Orientalist painting in particular. Let me briefly explain first how the concept of theatricality will be integrated to the essay. Among the complex conceptualizations of theatricality, parallel with the objectives of this essay theatricality will be adapted from Elisabeth Burns.
The first source titled Posada Printmaker To The Mexican People displays Jose Guadalupe Posada’s art work and explains his methods and reasoning behind the art. His Calaveras that appear in newspapers and other advertisements often held political undertones and were produced for the general masses of people to enjoy. Posada’s Calaveras serve as an inspiration for the comic like characters in Bernardo Fernando’s graphic novel, 1874. For this reason, Gamboa’s book can be used to compare and contrast previous comic and graphic artwork done in Mexico to the recent work done by Fernández. 2nd

He was also fortunate enough to study with Felipe Pedrell, who taught him of Spanish popular music, but sufficient time was not spent on developing Granados’ technical knowledge of the subject. Despite these lessons, many feel that Granados returned home without ‘sufficient equipment and style’ to help guide his compositions, as is evident in his earlier works. Again, because of these setbacks, Granados is hindered in his musical development as a

Guns, blood, devastation, and spiritualism… These things are only a few aspects which are defined in the painting of Jose Clemente Orozco. The Mural of Orozco called Modern Migration of Spirit translates the conquest of new lands, the forcing of religious acts, and the death of kinds and nations.

Many of his peers pursued ambitious experiments that led often to abstraction, but Chagall’s distinction lies in his steady faith in power in figurative art, one that he maintained despite absorbing ideas from many different avant-garde movements. He is a prime example of a modern artist who mastered multiple media including oil painting, gouache painting, murals, watercolors, etching, ceramics, theater, drawing, stained-glass work and costume design. Marc Chagall was born on July, 7, 1887 to Feige-Ite and Khatskl Shagal in Liozna, near Vitebsk, in Russian Empire, today Belarus.
