Overview

BECOMING PABLO O'HIGGINS tells the intriguing story of how a blond-haired, blue-eyed Presbyterian from Salt Lake City, Utah became a celebrated Mexican muralist. Born Paul Higgins in 1904, O'Higgins traveled to Mexico City in 1924 to see the mural renaissance involving Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros.
