Collection: JOSE RAUL ANGUIANO VALADEZ
(1915 - 2006)
Painter, muralist, and printmaker José Raúl Anguiano Valadez was born at the height of the Mexican revolution at Guadalajara, the eldest of ten children. His drawing talent was manifest at age five, and at age 12, he left conventional education for Guadalajara’s Escuela Libre de Pintura, where he acquired fundamental techniques as well as exposure to both pre-Hispanic and popular art forms. In 1933, he left the school and, together with a number of his peers, formed a group known as the Jóvenes Pintores Jaliscienses.
