Oswaldo Guayasamin






We ventured on to the Guayasamin Foundation museum. He is the most famous artist in Ecuador. His paintings captured a lot of emotion; pain and love. Like Picasso, he became rich while he was still alive. The museum sells signed lithographs which may be worth a lot at some point. I will definitely purchase some as a gift to self upon graduation from Ecuador ;)

Note the painting of Pinochet. He sarcastically inscribed Pino-shit on the painting!
