The Cevallos brothers are immigrant bachelors who for decades have spent their days in their shared Manhattan apartment crafting advertising posters by hand.
After that initial meeting between Cohen and the Cevallos brothers, the men built a close bond. Cohen said he was keen to learn more about their history and shared love of art. The brothers speak limited English and corresponded with The Washington Post by email.
Throughout their childhood, “we were always making art and learning about artists,” said Carlos, 84, who spoke on behalf of himself and his brother. The siblings, along with their older brother, Victor, opened a sign shop in Bogotá in 1966. Victor — who first in the early 1960s as he traveled across Central America sketching caricatures of guests in hotel lobbies — taught his younger brothers all he knew about art.Along with making signs, “we had exhibitions everywhere,” he added.After Victor moved to New York in 1969, his brothers eventually followed him. Carlos came first in 1974 and produced posters with Victor in a small art studio in Times Square, and later in Queens.
Miguel, 81, remained in Bogotá to look after their mother, who died at age 101. In 2005, he moved to New York to reunite with his brothers.The three Cevallos siblings worked side by side, using acrylic paint and Sharpies to make posters for various businesses, mainly in the Corona and Jackson Heights neighborhoods of Queens.
