Miguel Covarrubias was born in Mexico City in 1904, and was already an established artist by the age of 19 when moved to New York City. He was a painter, caricaturist, and anthropologist (among many other things) with his work appearing in The New Yorker and Vanity Fair.
It is fascinating to note how his stylized line work served as an inspiration to Al Hirschfeld.
