Louisiana State Museum Gift of Ms. Irma and Yvonne Fasnacht Painter and sculptor Xavier Gonzalez had a long and active career as teacher and artist across America and around the world. Much of his work, however, was completed in Louisiana, and his murals continue to ornament buildings in the state. While working for various New Deal agencies during the Depression, Gonzalez painted murals in several Louisiana post offices and in New Orleans’ Shushan Airport. Combining elements of Cubism, American Regionalism, and the works of Mexican mural painters, Gonzalez’s work brought an international flair to the 1930s New Orleans art world.
