Alfredo Arreguin by Lauro Flores

Alfredo Arreguin by Lauro Flores

Born in Mexico in 1935 and a resident of Washington State for nearly five decades, Alfredo Arreguin has long been recognized as a major force in pattern painting. This work reveals Alfredo Arreguin as a genuinely American painter, in the real, hemispheric sense of this term - an artist of magic, mystery, and revelation.

"Secondhand copies of the first edition can go for up to $500, making this a bargain"

(Seattle Times)

"Among the more unique and innovative contemporary artists of [the Pacific Northwest] is Alfredo Arreguin. Born in 1935 in Michoacan, Mexico, he has spent almost a half century of his life in Washington state. His paintings reflect both experiences and are characterized by distinctive and pervasive patterned backgrounds, elaborate details and images in the patterns, intense colors and figures, objects, and themes that are reflective of the Northwest and Mexico. . . . The text in this handsome volume is in both English and Spanish with numerous beautiful reproductions of his paintings that bear witness to Arreguin's distinctive talent."
