Description:
Ernesto "Chango" Garcia Cabral was born in Huatusco Veracruz, Mexico in 1890. Cabral was 17 when he first won an scholarship to the San Carlos Art Academy in Mexico City. By 1910 he was drawing for popular publications and two years later received a grant to study art in Paris.
Cabral returned to Mexico in 1918 where he established himself as a top caricaturist. His work often appeared on the covers of magazines such as the weekly "Revista de Revistas", and "Jueves de Exclesior".
As with many artists, his commercial work was rarely signed on any advertising posters. (He did many for the movie industry in Mexico). Cabral also painted murals, one of which can be found in the city of Toluca, Mexico. Cabral died in 1968.
