EL CHANGO Ernesto Garcia Cabral
The GREATEST Cartoonist You Never Heard of!
The magic of the fourteenth annual festival is here! Visit our most extraordinary Arte Latino exhibition including the work of one of Mexico's’s greatest political cartoonists and illustrators, EL CHANGO Ernesto Garcia Cabral (1890 – 1968).
EL CHANGO studied art in Paris just before WWI, and became well known there as a cartoonist. He returned to Mexico in 1918 and quickly became one of the country's premiere illustrators. He is best known for his expressive caricatures, which illustrated the posters for Mexican film comedies throughout the forties and fifties. For years, his fame was limited to Mexico but most recently this is changing as he becomes an international art icon.
In honor of our first Cine’mation Showcase, you will be able to enjoy his amazing work in the museum, at specific branches of Union Bank of California, and in the amazing documentary La Vida en un Bolado: El Chango Garcia Cabral that will be shown at this year’s 14th Annual San Diego Latino Film Festival courtesy of his family estate.
Alongside of EL CHANGO's work, we are equally thrilled to present contemporary Latino illustrators in the POP ART field of comic strips, comic books, and animation. Often overlooked in the field of art, these independent voices will shock, amuse and delight you with their Latin sensibility and charm.
