Miguel Covarrubias - Mexican Artists

Jose Miguel Covarrubias (November 22, 1904 — February 4, 1957) was a famous Mexican painter and caricaturist. His works and star caricatures had been characteristic in The New Yorker and Vanity Fair magazines. The linear nature of his drawing style was highly dominant to other caricaturists such as Al Hirschfield.
He even worked as an illustrator for W.C. Handy’s publications.

Covarrubias is then well known for his analysis of pre-Colombian art of Mesoamerica, mostly that of the Olmec culture. His analysis of iconography presented a well-built case that the Olmec predated the Classic Era years before this was established by archaeology
