About the artist: Enrique Castells Capurro ( Montevideo , March 9 , 1913 - Punta del Este , July 3 , 1987 ) was a Uruguayan watercolorist, painter and sculptor . Despite having been self-taught, he received great influence from his uncle Carlos Castells (1880-1933). His central theme is the horse and the gaucho just as it was for his uncle Carlos. He began painting at the age of four, drawing the dancer Ana Pavlova during her visit to Uruguay. He worked in newspapers and magazines drawing scenes of ballet, football, horse racing and themes related to the gaucho . There are large murals of his creation in many public offices in Uruguay, such as AFE , National Library , Pluna , Fuerte de San Miguel , Intendencia de Maldonado , etc. He published several books with his paintings and images of him have become popular and reproduced in various media. He illustrated works on Martín Fierro , Santos Vega , Los Tacuruses de Serafín J. García . In 1950, the Kraft publishing house of Buenos Aires published an inventory of his published works. For several years he made in bronze the prizes awarded by the Jockey Club in the José Pedro Ramírez Grand Prix , the highest equestrian competition in Uruguay. He also performed special work for Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain . His paintings and murals exist at the University of Austin ( Texas ), the headquarters of the United Nations , and numerous private and public collections.
