Covarrubias was a Genius, who knows what he could achieve if he didn't die so young... That's how it goes with true artists sometimes, too fragile, too sensible for this world. In the self portrait of the cover, he paints himself with Olmec characteristics like the mouth, same as the giant Olmec head next to him. The Olmecs, the first of the Mesoamerican cultures, also known as the "mother culture", was discovered by him only. A real collector archaeologist. Another great book. Elena Poniatowska Miguel Covarrubias Vida y Mundos A compilation of interviews with people who knew Covarrubias that appeared on a Mexican newspaper right afer his death. In Spanish.
