NOTES / REFERENCES: Eduardo Zamora. Born in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico in 1942. Eduardo Zamora studied art at the Nacional de Artes Plasticas of Mexico and at the Academy of Graphic Arts of Kracow (Poland). During the 1960s he lived and painted in Mexico, moving to Paris in 1973.

In 1983 several young artists formed Magie-Image, a cluster of avant garde Hispanic painters. The talent of these painters attracted the attention of the famous Chilean surrealist, Roberto Matta, who served as their advisor and spiritual leader. The exhibition of the group brought together 29 original works by members of this circle, including Saul Kaminer, Eduardo Zamora, Carlos Aresti, Heriberto Cogollo and Roberto Matta himself.
