He's one of my favorite artists too. <br /><br />The house was filled with seashells, sculptures, paintings, carvings, birds, flowers and plants, and charm. It was a lovely time.<br /><br />Saludos!- Mexican Trailrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05987460497945211699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777171318205023886.post-34789002440264074452012-04-18T15:39:00.704-05:002012-04-18T15:39:00.704-05:00I just returned from Merida for the first visit.

The 27 murals that he painted, on display, at the Govenor's Palace blew me away!While searching to find more, anything, about him I came across your blog. What a great story of your visit! His "art story" of the Yucatan people had me in tears, it was so dynamic. His huge anatomy portrayals are just incredible. He is now on my list of favorite artists.CharArthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13349965043082573791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777171318205023886.post-497958005430323432012-01-21T17:12:37.114-06:002012-01-21T17:12:37.114-06:00Hi Bryan!

Me too.<br /><br />I'm told he is still alive, but I don't know for sure, and he would be quite elderly by now. He may, however, still be in good shape. <br /><br />I do not have their phone number any longer and I doubt they have email. You would have to go there. If you do, go to the museum on the plaza and ask the curator for directions to the house or the phone number.<br /><br />Good luck, certainly would be worth a trip to the Yucatan! Let me know how it goes.- Mexican Trailrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05987460497945211699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777171318205023886.post-33044118821397312722012-01-18T12:20:48.348-06:002012-01-18T12:20:48.348-06:00Hi, my name is Bryan and I am very interested in P...Hi, my name is Bryan and I am very interested in Pacheco's work. I am a graduate student in art history and I would love to be able to get in contact with Senor Pacheco. Do you have any idea how to get into contact with him? By the way, I love your story above; I just love it when serendipitous moments occur!BryanSchaeffer.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10957864424259307395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777171318205023886.post-66951496809689161602011-03-03T07:55:07.296-06:002011-03-03T07:55:07.296-06:00I will keep my eyes and ears open, and will let yo...I will keep my eyes and ears open, and will let you know what I find out.Marc Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289566244668566622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777171318205023886.post-35934227666435495102011-02-28T10:12:48.792-06:002011-02-28T10:12:48.792-06:00What a fortunate meeting!

I bet he doesn't get out much any more, but he was a fitness buff and he might be in good shape for his age. <br /><br />I bet I could find their house again, it was close to the plaza. One of those elegant old places. Yes, time to go back to Mérida.<br /><br />Let me know if you hear anything about him.
