Going through the world of 'Chamaco' Covarrubias, is to travel a vast and scattered world, a world of pencil, crayon, ink and endless colors where borders are crossed in an elegant, precise and funny way, showing the essence of cultures near and far. José Miguel Covarrubias Duclaud (Mexico, 1904 - 1957) became famous as a cartoonist and illustrator in New York during the 1920s, publishing in Vanity Fair and Vogue magazines.
