Maestro Enrique Grau was born in 1920 in Panama, but grew up in Cartagena. The painting above is one of Grau's most famous. Painted in 1940, it is called Cartagena Mulattress. From 1980 onwards he started sculpting as well as painting. His home town contains many of his works including the statue of Cartagena's own saint, San Pedro Claver, and the interior of Teatro Heredia. The boy standing next to Grau is Eduardo "Kike" Piñeros, a student of mine and relative of Grau's. The photo below shows Señor Grau in the Colege Library signing postcards for Adolfo Fox, another student of mine, while the Primary Art Director and I look on. Mr Grau ran out of postcards but signed a piece of paper and did a small drawing on it for me.
