This semester is the first time “Latin American Film” has been offered. Three Latin American directors have already spoken to the class, including Augusto Tamayo, who was Peru’s selection to be nominated for the Academy Award in the Foreign Film category...
...NATION'S HIGHEST COURT SHOWED LITTLE SYMpathy last week for Jose Tamayo- Reyes, a Cuban refugee accused of a barroom murder in Oregon. Tamayo-Reyes, who speaks little English, pleaded no contest in 1984 to manslaughter, but he later argued that a bad Spanish translation caused him to misunderstand what he was doing.

Tamayo's paintings, like The Merry Drinker, 1946, are based as much on Mexican popular art with its bright organic colors as on the inspiration of Picasso; broad humor and even a fierce grotesqueness are never far away.
