José Luis Cuevas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
José Luis Cuevas (February 1934, Mexico-City) is a modernist painter from Mexico. Born in 1934, Cuevas derived most of his training outside of the academies. He is considered to be one of the artists from the 1950s in the Rupture Generation that was departing from the politicized and stylized mural school of Orozco and Diego Rivera. More introspective and morose, his style recalls a linerazed and antichromatic Francis Bacon. (Also see Rafael Coronel.)
Cuevas was Drawing Prize at the V Biennial of Sao Paulo (1959), the National Prize of Science and Art of México (1981). He wrote a weekly column in Excelsior, one of the main México City newspapers. The José Luis Cuevas Museum in México City is named after him
