Publisher: Fondo de Cultura Economica. 1999 Mexico D.F. (2000 books were printed) A great book biography about Miguel "el chamaco" (kid) Covarrubias the amazing life of a Mexican genius. The book, took 15 years for her biographer to write. Adriana Williams was born in the U.S. with Mexican roots. He died too early. He did everything before and better than anyone. And I am not exaggerating, Even before Picasso and Heyerdahl. For me, he is THE Tiki prophet... I like Covarrubias even better than Gaugin. He is one of the few artists who managed to captured the enchantment of Tiki in drawings, paintings and words. Picture from the collection of Jose "Zeta" Arizaleta Mahalo for looking. Z
