Artist Bio:
Mexican artist Raúl Anguiano (1915–2006) had a broad and varied career. He first arrived in Mexico City in 1934 from Guadalajara, where he had studied at his hometown’s Open Air Painting School. In 1937 Anguiano became a founding member of the Taller de Gráfica Popular, a collective print workshop dedicated to the creation and dissemination of sociopolitical art. During the 1930s and 1940s, Anguiano gained increasing recognition, and created works that drew simultaneously on cubism and surrealism, while also exploring revolution and social advocacy.

Beginning in the 1970s, Anguiano developed a strong connection with Southern California, where he had a second home, taught, and painted murals at the Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles (1999), the Bowers Museum (1999–2000), and East Los Angeles College (2002). These projects have solidified the place of Anguiano’s murals in Southern California.

His first major exhibition was held at the Palacio de Bellas Artes, at age 20. Anguiano held his first solo exhibition, entitled "Raúl Anguiano and Máximo Pacheco" at the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City, in 1935; and in 1940 he took part in his first collective exhibition "Twenty Centuries of Mexican Art". These were followed by more than 100 shows in many countries as Cuba, Chile, Colombia, Brazil, United States, France, Italy, the former Soviet Union, Israel, Germany and Japan See less
