Bill Granizo - An Autobiography in Pictures
 

 
 

Twenty years later, the Mexican Government converted the historic convent of Santa Inez into the Cuevas Museum of Modern Art. Although Jose Luis had never known me as an artist, he had kept up with my progress and when visiting him one day he said "Billy, now that you are a formidable artist, would you do a mural for my museum?" This resulted in "Homage to Jose Luis Cuevas" which showed him being inspired by Quevedo, Dostoevsky, Kafka, Keaton, Langdon and deSade. His interest in motion pictures also shows King Kong in New York. Other structures, the Tower of the Americas, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Tower of London, the Eifel Tower, represent some of the cities where he has exercised his creativity. Unfortunately, the 1989 earthquake caused the leaning mural to topple and many tiles cracked. Rather than redoing it, a different approach was made and the damaged one went to his hime.
