Camilo Egas has become a surrealist. There is no connection, thematically, between these canvases at the Acquavella and the earlier Egas murals at the New School for Social Research, with flowing rhythms that recall modern Mexico. From the outset, so far as our acquaintance with his work extends, Egas has painted with inform cunning. There is prodigious skill in the later work, which in spirit, however, allies itself with Dali and Tchelitchew and other explorers of the unconscious.
