Manuel Acosta
Sometimes he would add a vivacious Chiaroscuro effect. He primarily painted with oil paints, but he would also use other medias such as watercolors, charcoal, casein, and tempera.
He enjoyed painting El Paso's barrios. His paintings were very realistic. He also painted many other things like the Mexican Revolution. He also painted children, and bullfighters, but his most popular works included self-portraits and portraits of other people.
His paintings gained a new kind of love during the Chicano movement of the mid-1960's and the beginning of the 1970's. In 1969, for the cover of TIME Magazine, he painted a portrait of César Cháves.
