Summary:

This publication explores the broad spectrum of artist Miguel Covarrubias's work, aiming to delve into his creative process and to understand his approaches to form, as well as the questions he posed regarding aesthetics and the social sciences. Covarrubias suggests an alternative way of understanding the world through the diverse artistic practices he undertook -- drawing, caricature, painting, cartography, and diagramming -- through which he reveals the cultural debates of his time, a period in which the aesthetic and the civilized were being redefined outside the European canon.
