Eugenio Cruz Vargas (Santiago, 2 October 1923 - Olmué, 18 January 2014)[1] was a Chilean poet and painter.[2][3]
Biography
His parents were Pedro Nolasco Cruz Correa and Maria Vargas Bello, grandson of literary critic Pedro Nolasco Cruz Vergara, great-grandson of Francisco Vargas Fontecilla and Vicente Correa Albano, and great-greatgrandson of Andrés Bello López and Pedro Nolasco Vergara Albano.
He was married on July 15, 1950 with Luz Vergara Errazuriz (July 10, 1927 - June 25, 2014) with her he had 9 children; José Eugenio, Soledad, Juan José, Eduardo, Josefina, Isabel, Felipe, María de la Luz and Santiago.
He studied at the Jesuit college of San Ignacio of Alonso de Ovalle in Santiago. Then he worked at the Banco de Chile, where he collaborated on the formation of districts and communes that are now traditional (districts of Providencia, Vitacura and Las Condes).
He formed advertising agency "Condor" and later "Cruz and Solar”. Later he traveled to Europe and United States to work in films—self-portrait in 1972 and Antonio in 1973, respectively --. His love of nature led him to acquire farms in Los Angeles in 1965 and Río Bueno in 1974.
He was the creator of Via Advertising (1974), Libraries for Chile ( 1980), the Central Station Mall (1978 ), today Paseo Mall Station, and dozens of other initiatives.
Paintings
Originally, its theme of the exhibitions in 1986, 1999 and 1999 it's about Chilean environment peasant. Nature was one of the central issues, approaching, with his paintings, to the classical teachers of naturalism and romanticism of the nineteenth century. His last painting exhibition was "from landscape to abstraction," held at the Cultural Institute of Providencia, Montecarmelo in 2008. Made four exhibitions with more than one hundred pictures each one, attended by leading specialists.[4][5][6][7] [8][9]
Poetry
His latest book, "From the Earthly to the Spatial" was presented on April 8, 2011 at the Cultural Institute of Providencia. The 250 pages book shows their experiences, feelings, loves, fears and emotions. According to the writer Maria Carolina Geel, in his text, Cruz Vargas keeps his flat and surreal poetic style, characterized by simple language instrumentalized to sublime love, life and nature. The poet Emilio Antilef, who prefaced, Cruz Vargas defined as "a child who does not renounce dreaming, the same as living with the adult life struggling to pieces and holds them with claws that poetry is capable of to find the magnitude of resources”.[10][11][12]
His two previous titles, “The only time I lie” (Editorial Universitaria, 1978) and “Sky” (Editorial Nascimiento, 1980 ) were critically acclaimed in major national newspapers.[13][14]
