Miguel Covarrubias

Miguel Covarrubia (22 November 1904 — 4 February 1957) was a Mexican painter and caricaturist, ethnologist and art historian.
I am particularly found of the map paintings, they remind me of my favorite illustrated children’s books. He left a treasure chest of watercolors, magazine illustrations, commissions, etc. to dig deeper through.

If in Los Angeles, make sure to take a visit to the California African American Museum to see his work in person.
