Emmanuel Honorato Vazquez

The story of Emmanuel Honorato Vázquez is a tragic one, of extraordinary beauty. The conservative Ecuadoran society of his time would have preferred his work to disappear altogether: it held this rebellious, anticlerical, bohemian artist, with his unbridled vital impulse, in frank disdain.This book is a minimal introduction to the creative fervor of this great artist and to a moment in history when Latin America was awakening to confront with lucidity the whirlwind of modernity.
