Casapueblo


It may seem as though my holiday was all to do with art but I was just lucky enough to be going to places that had some really interesting work to look at.
Casapueblo is a museum studio of the artist Carlos Paez Vilaro. This is the Carlos with his
friend Picasso in 1957.

This is the Casapueblo museum and studio that Carlos built by hand with the help of local fishermen. It sits on the cliff side at Punta Ballena in Uruguay.


These are the most recent paintings by Carlos. He is now 89 and still paints at Casapueblo, he was actually there when we went but unfortunately we did not see him.
