Edward Arcenio (Eduardo) Chavez

Edward Arcenio (Eduardo) Chavez (1917 - 1995) was active/lived in New York, New Mexico.  Edward Chavez is known for Genre and landscape painting, lithography, mural.

Edward Chavez (1917-1995) is definitely an important part of American art history, working through the depression as one of the more successful WPA muralists, then for the U.S. Army painting murals in mess halls during off duty hours, finally becoming one of many artists to call Woodstock home in the years after World War II.

In 1951 Chavez won a Fulbright Grant allowing him and his wife, artist Jenne Magafan, to paint in Italy for the year.  Through the fifties and sixties Chavez remained on the cutting edge of the art scene until the op-art movement redirected popular opinion.

Chavez's work is in the permanent collections of the Library of Congress Print Collection, Museum of Modern Art, Hirshorn Collection, and Detroit Museum of Art to name a few.

The colors and shapes of his art are planted firmly in his native New Mexico, creating haunting images from Chavez's youth, but with a twist that is decidedly ahead of his time.
