Oswaldo Guayasamín

Oswaldo Guayasamín is one of my favorite artists. He worked mostly out of Ecuador, and there is a museum dedicated to his art in Quito. Not only did he paint, Guayasamín was a sculptor, although I would like to share his paintings with you. His works are some of the most emotionally charged works I have seen from any painter of any background, I have not seen every artist of every culture, but just look at these works and see what I mean!
