On Tuesday I went with Tessa, a girl from my school and a fellow artist, to see the Guayasamin Museum. We basically had to climb a mountain to get there but it was a good work out and well worth it. There was a beautiful garden and views over the city as well as a nice show of his work. We had a ¨rock star¨ tour guide who wore a smart suit and sunglasses indoors. Guayasamin came from a poor family, mixing natural materials and breast milk to make paint when he was younger. He was influenced by Picasso, Goya, and Mexican muralists.
