Garreaud studied in Italy and France between 1956 and 1959, and dedicated part of his life to experimenting in painting three-dimensional shapes using pre-Columbian artifacts (pottery and textiles).

One of Garreaud´s drawings from the César Vallejo series was selected for the issue of the commemorative coin and postage stamp marking the centennial of the poet’s birth. In 1975 Garreaud created the iconic series of drawings and monotypes in honor of Cesar Vallejo, and thus a Vallejiana affiliation remained a constant throughout the rest of his life.

Garreud exhibited his work for the first time in 1956 in Rome. Following his three and a half years in Italy, he spent a year in Paris before returning to Peru. His work evolved to embody geometric abstraction, “inspired, in large part, by the geometric forms, clean lines, and three-dimensionality of pre-Columbian artifacts…Reflective of his parallel interests in art and aviation, in the ...More...

Partially Reviewed: Rough draft. I've gone through these pictures once, removing the worst ones, some duplication, etc. I usually take sequences of 4 or 5 pictures at a time and there are lots of near duplicates. I'll be doing a final review later which will cull the pictures down some. To be honest though, I'm way behind on doing final reviews.

2019 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Trips this year: (May/June) a two-day jaunt to New York City for my 62nd birthday, (July) two-weeks out west for San Diego Comic-Con and sites in Utah, (August) a four-day jaunt to Massachusetts to experience rain in another state. That's it so far!
