Eduardo Carrillo: Within a Cultural Context

"He expressed his culture through its history; he painted allegories, he painted grace and greatness in the people of his race and ultimately the human race. In 1966 he founded El Centro de Arte Regional in his father's birthplace in La Paz, Baja, teaching and exhibiting regional crafts and acting as the center's first director."

"The accompanying educational programs and publication will share with a wider audience the life and impact of Eduardo Carrillo, an internationally renowned painter and muralist. We are most grateful for the interest and generosity of many collectors who have shared Eduardo's work and to the many donors who generously provided resources to accomplish our goal through the efforts of Susan Hillhouse, Curator of Exhibitions and Collections at the Museum and Betsy Andersen at Museo Eduardo Carrillo."

"The cinematic painting “Las Tropicanas” (1972–73) marks the achievement of Carrillo’s mature style and content, uniquely synthesizing multiple sources, including the paintings he studied closely at the Prado."
