Summary:
"Eduardo Carrillo's artwork has been described as mystical, realistic, surreal, and visionary. His imagery, whether grounded in the everyday world or infused with magical realism, reflects his relationship to his native California and to his Mexican heritage, as well as his early religious upbringing and his respect for European traditions in art. An inspirational leader who actively challenged racism and injustice, Carrillo created programs and platforms that promoted greater awareness of Latin American culture, aesthetics, and social concerns, signficantly advancing the recognition and appreciation of Chicano art and culture in California. 'Testament of the Spirit: Paintings by Eduardo Carrillo' highlights the creative efforts and social importance of Carrillo as an artist, teacher, scholar, and social activist. It showcases work created for three distinct realms: the public, the private, and the museum. Carrillo's murals (several of which were dismantled or destroyed but are documented in archival images) demonstrate his social and political concerns as well as his struggles; his intimate watercolors and paintings describe his everyday life, in the form of self-portraits, still lifes, and images of people and places he held dear; and his large-scale visionary paintings-Carillo's masterpieces-reveal his complex and creative mind." = "El arte de Eduardo Carrillo ha sido descrito como místico, realista, surrealista y visionario. Sus imágenes, ya sean basadas en el mundo cortidiano o infundidas de realismo mágico, reflejan su relación con su California natal y su herencia mexicana, así como su educación religiosa temprana y su respeto por las tradiciones artísticas europeas. Un líder inspirador que desafió activamente el racismo y la injusticia, Carrillo creó programas y plataformas que promovieron una mayor conciencia de la cultura, estética y preocupaciones sociales latinoamericanas, avanzando significativamente el reconocimiento y aprecio del arte y la cultura chicanos en California. 'Testamento del espíritu: Pinturas de Eduardo Carrillo' destaca los esfuerzos creativos y la importancia social de Carrillo como artista, maestro, estudioso y activista social. Destaca las obras creadas para tres ámbitos distintos: el público, el privado y el museo. Los murales de Carrillo (varios de los cuales fueron desmantelados o destruidos pero que están documentados en imágenes de archivo) demuestran sus preocupaciones sociales y políticas, así como sus luchas; sus acuarelas y pinturas íntimas describen su vida cotidiana en forma de autorretratos, naturalezas muertas e imágenes de personas y lugares por él queridos; y sus pinturas visionarias a gran escala-las obras maestras de Carrillo-revelan su compleja y creativa mente" --Publisher's description, page [2] of dust jacket.
