Career
His work was an important part of the dynamic upswing in New Orleans visual arts in the late 20th century. George Febres is credited with starting the art movement called Visionary Imagism in his adopted hometown of New Orleans. This put him in a central position of the art renaissance that unfolded in the city in the 1970s.
Febres worked with frescoes, mixed media, mosaic, pencil on paper.
Although his work showed a strong influence of Surrealism and People’s art, he expanded this into Visionary Imagism. He is now interred in Saint Louis Cemetery #1.
