The film will be preceded by the short film Rufino Tamayo: The Sources of His Art (1972), directed by Gary Conklin. The Sources of His Artis narrated by John Huston, has music by Carlos Chavez and J.S. Bach, poetry by Octavio Paz, and the art of Rufino Tamayo. This serves as a great companion piece to Mary Lance’s I Paint What I See, the award-winning documentary about the life and work of the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. This program is presented in conjunction with National Hispanic Heritage Month and the 40th-anniversary of La Casa, IU’s Latino Cultural Center. (Digital presentation)
