Anthony Quinn, better known to the world as the Academy Award winning star of over two hundred films, stage and television, was also one of the world's most talented painters and sculptors.
His bold, creative mind and spirit inspired us all for over sixty years, through his brilliant and moving portrayal of hundreds of fascinating, complex characters and his vital concern for our troubled world and its needy people, but, it is the lesser known, private, personal side of his life that inspired his brilliant art.

He
was born under the gunfire of the Revolution in Chihuahua, Mexico in
1915, to a half-Irish father and Mexican Indian mother, who both
marched under the banner of Pancho Villa and who was eventually driven
north to Texas in search of peace and freedom.
It
is quite understandable, after the bitterness and harsh reality of his
early youth that he would be attracted to the fantasy world being
created by the newly emerging film industry, where his father had found
employment as a cameraman at the old Selznick Studios.
In order to help generate additional income for his family, young Anthony would wander around the studio, drawing portraits of the stars that he admired most and then present them with his efforts hoping for some recognition or reward. His models ranged from the sultry Rudolph Valentino and the Latin lover, Ramon Navarro to the swashbuckling Douglas Fairbanks, who was so flattered by this young boy's portrayal of him that he awarded him the princely sum of ten dollars and an artistic career was launched.

In addition to the beautiful drawings that he created as a child, he was also a talented sculptor, winning his first statewide California competition at age eleven with his sculpted bust of Abraham Lincoln, another boy born in poverty, who dedicated his life to help uplift those in need and the wealth of styles, colors, and techniques that he displayed in his art could have been the greatest life works of a dozen different artists, all different facets of the rare gem that was the multi-talented genius of Anthony Quinn.
The
bold, decisive lines of his sculptures are sinuous and powerful,
hard-edged and flowing. His artwork reflects his deep roots in his
ancient heritage and his worldly contemporary sophistication. The
colors of his paintings gleam with the purest fire and clarity of
emeralds, rubies and sapphires.
He created to the size of man's spirit, not his dimension.
His remarkable freedom of expression, bursting with creative energy,
speaks to all men.
At first he signed his artwork with his mother's maiden name, Oaxaca, and had a sell out showing.
