Enrique Grau (December 18, 1920 - April 1, 2004) was a Colombian artist, renowned for his depictions of Amerindian and Afro-Colombian figures. He was a member of the triumvirate of key Colombian artists of the 20th century which included Fernando Botero and Alejandro Obreg├│n.
Grau was born in Panama City, Panama, and raised in Cartagena, Colombia. A self-made artist, he studied at the Art Students League in New York, USA, in the early 1940s. He later toured Italy, where he learned etching and fresco techniques before moving to the city of Cartagena.
His associations of white, black and indigenous figures and objects such as masks, eggs, fruit or cages brought him international fame, with exhibitions at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City and the Paris Museum of Modern Art. Grau donated 1,300 works of art (including some by other artists) to the city of Cartagena; these will be used to establish a museum, due to open in late 2004.
Enrique Grau died in Bogot├í, Colombia, at the age of 83.
