Endara Crow by Paul and Verito

Gonzalo Endara Crow was born in Bucay in 1936 and he died in 1996.
From an early age he was very interested in art and as young man he studied painting at the Central University in Quito.
Endara crow’s work took on a distinct style early in his career that stayed with him throughout his life.
Ecuadorian geography and the bright colors used by indigenous artisans in their work were two influences that penetrated Endara Crow’s work for his all career.
Various art historians and critics have referred to his work as magical realism, a term used when speaking of Twenty Century Latin American Literature.
Just as in magical texts, paintings by Endara Crow seek to expand the categories of what is real so as to encompass myth Magic and other extraordinary phenomenal in nature.
