Manuel Rodríguez Lozano: pensamiento y pintura 1922-1958

Uittreksel

It took 1 year and a half for curator Arturo López to prepare the monographic exhibition that highlights 2 aspects of Manuel Rodríguez Lozano's oeuvre: to examine the artist within the collections of MUNAL and a second aspect to commemorate his life and artwork in his 40th death anniversary. The retrospective exhibition presents 130 pieces, including books, documents and photographs that account for the personal and professional trajectory of the painter. Includes works by some of his most noted disciples: Ángel Torres Jaramillo (Tebo), Francisco Zúñiga, Abraham Ángel, Julio Castellanos, Ignacio Nieves Beltrán (Nefero) and photographer Antonio Reynoso. This impressive book/catalogue explores the life and cultural and artistic contributions of Rodríguez Lozano: his participation in the art group "Los Contemporáneos" in the 1920's, his relationships with patron Antonieta Rivas Mercado and his wife Nahui Olin (Carmen Mondragón), his participation in the magazine "Revista Ulises", with special emphasis in the before and after of his creative production when in the 1940's he was unjustly imprisoned in Lecumberri. The exhibited pieces are from MUNAL and diverse national collections and include the portraits of Jaime Torres Bodet and Daniel Cosío Villegas never exhibited before.
