He was the pupil of his father, a famous Mexican portrait painter who moved his family to northern Arizona in 1918. There in quite untamed country, Marco rode and played with Indian children and learned about their culture. He studied at Chouinard's Art Center in Los Angeles and with Martin Syverston.
