George Febres was an Ecuadorian-born painter, internationally acclaimed for his wildly imaginative style and humorous "visual puns." He is especially known for the banana motif which often appeared in his paintings, a visual juxtaposition of the fruit, very common in Ecuador, and a phallic reference. His work was an important part of the dynamic upswing in New Orleans visual arts in the late 20th century. George was openly homosexual, he was friends with Andy Warhol and other avant-garde artists, possibly the most influential Ecuadorian artist in the United States of the 20th century.
