In June 2018, the Crocker Art Museum will bring to Sacramento an expansive exhibition of works by Eduardo Carrillo, a painter, teacher, and social activist known for advancing recognition of Chicano art and culture in California.

Carrillo’s large-scale oil paintings have been described as mystical, surreal, and visionary, while his intimate watercolors reflect the artist’s daily life in self-portraits, still lifes, and images of people and places he held dear. “Testament of the Spirit: Paintings by Eduardo Carrillo (Testamento del espíritu: Pinturas de Eduardo Carrillo)” reflects on the artist’s relationship to his native California, as well as to his Mexican heritage, his early religious upbringing, and the European tradition of art.

“El Grito (the Cry) was commissioned by the city of Los Angeles for the Placita de Dolores across from Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. The mural commemorates the instigating call, made in 1810, by Father Hidalgo for the peasants to revolt against the rule of Spain. Although Hidalgo and the other instigators were discovered, the Cry ultimately led to Mexican independence in 1821. As a result, control of Los Angeles transferred from the Spanish to the Mexicans for 26 years.Carrillo developed the design for the mural through a series of large scale “cartoons” based on this historical event. He cast all 300 of his own 1 foot square ceramic tiles, incised them with the drawings, and formulated slips and glazes for all of them. He invited a team of interested students to help with all phases of the firing and installation process. By apprenticing, they gained valuable experience in the art of large scale mural design and construction.”

“In 1968, the Mexican government donated to the City of Los Angeles a replica of the Bell of Dolores which Father Hidalgo rang on the morning of September 16, 1810, signaling the beginning of Mexico's Wars of Independence from Spain. Artist Eduardo Carrillo received a commission in 1977 to create a mural that would complement the replica of the Bell displayed at the Placita de Dolores located on Alameda Street near Olvera Street. The mural, painted on 300 1' ceramic tiles, depicts the key figures in the Mexico's early Wars of Independence, including Dona Josefa Dominguez, Jose Maria Morelos, Captain Ignacio Allende, and Juan de Aldama.”

Back in July of 2016 while on our day trip into downtown Los Angeles, California. We had stopped at Olvera Street for some lunch, and to view Mexican-American artist Eduardo Carrillo’s (1937-1997) “El Grito (The Cry)” mural in person.

I learned years ago of the murals location which was adjacent to the historic Olvera Street area. It had been even longer than that since I had visited El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument site, so after our visit to La Plaza de Cultura y Artes to view their current exhibitions, and a lunch break in the oldest part of Downtown Los Angeles, California. We then set out to locate the visually extraordinary artwork known as “El Grito (The Cry)” mural. Once standing directly in front of the grandiose tile mural I admired the impressiveness of each individually hand painted tile, which coagulated, became one prodigious depiction created by Mr. Carrillo of Father Hidalgo’s call to the peasants to revolt against the rule of España. For those of you in search of this extensive mural on your visit to El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument area, or La Plaza de Cultura y Artes, the “El Grito (The Cry)” tile mural is located in Placita de Dolores and is adjacent to the statue of legendary Mexican singer and actor Antonio Aguilar on his horse.
