from the private collection of William
McCormick:
Juventino Rosas Juarez:
We met this artist while travelling in
Mexico in 1983. We had inquired at several of the galleries
in Guanajuato, and they all spoke very highly of one man:
Juventino Rosas Juarez. We searched out his home/studio,
near the cathedral in downtown, and arranged a visit to see
some of his work. He was an amazing man, physically
handicapped, but handling the brush and oils
masterfully.
We bought these two paintings directly
from the artist, and I believe that, of all the works we
saw, the "Family Scene" is his masterpiece.
He attended the same art school as Diego
Rivera, about a generation or two later, and was apparently
greatly influenced by Rivera's work.
Unfortunately, we have not been able to
contact him, or learn anything about him recently.
