| Event Description |
On February 15, you can start to feel the magic of our fourteenth annual festival by visiting our most extraordinary Arte Latino exhibition including the work of one of Mexico's greatest political cartoonists and illustrators, EL CHANGO Ernesto Garcia Cabral (1890 – 1968).
EL CHANGO studied art in Paris just before WWI, and became well known there as a cartoonist. He returned to Mexico in 1918 and quickly became one of the country's premiere illustrators. He is best known for his expressive caricatures, which illustrated the posters for Mexican film comedies throughout the forties and fifties. For years, his fame was limited to Mexico but most recently this is changing as he becomes an international art icon.
In honor of the Media Arts Center’s first Cine’mation Showcase, you will be able to enjoy his amazing work in the museum, at specific branches of Union Bank of California, and in the amazing documentary Vida en un Bolado: El Chango Garcia Cabral that will be shown at this year’s 14th Annual San Diego Latino Film Festival courtesy of his family estate.
Alongside of EL CHANGO's work, the Media Art Center is equally thrilled to present contemporary Latino illustrators in the POP ART field of comic strips, comic books, and animation. Often overlooked in the field of art, these independent voices will shock, amuse and delight you with their Latin sensibility and charm.
ARTE LATINO 2007 Art Exhibition will be held in the prestigious San Diego Art Institute: Museum of the Living Artist at The House of Charm in Balboa Park (http://www.sandiego-art.org/ ).
Participating artists include, Chango Ernesto Garcia Cabral, Hector Cantu & Carlos Castellanos, Javier Hernandez, Jorge Gutierrez & Sandra Equihua, Richard Dominguez, David Alvarez, Rafael Navarro, Jeanne McKinney, Billy Martinez, Proyecto ACCESO, Wood & Stock Animation Team, A Garota Team which includes artists; Fernando Pinhiero, Danilo Pinhiero, and Gulherme Cunha, and Danilo Almeida.
