Guillermo Ceniceros (born May 7, 1939) is a Mexican painter and muralist, best known for his mural work in Mexico City and in the north of the country. He began his career as an assistant to artists such as Federico Cantú, Luis Covarrubias and then David Alfaro Siqueiros, the most notable of the last’s assistants. While he has experimented with abstract expression, he returns to the figurativism of Mexican muralism. His work has been recognized with membership in the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana, the opening of an art museum with is name by the state of Durango and the publication of his biography sponsored by the states of Durango and Nuevo León. ==Life== Ceniceros was born in a small village called El Salto, located in the municipality of Pueblo Nuevo in the Mexican state of Durango. His father was a woodworker who made toys and furniture, which Guillermo learned as a child. When he was twelve, the family moved to Monterrey to seek better economic opportunities. There he attended school and worked in various factories. When he was fourteen, he entered the Fabricación de Máquinas, S.A. (FAMA), a school/business, where he studied industrial drawing. He considers this training important, as it gave him a sense of geometry.〔 While at FAMA he met painters Gerardo Cantú and Ignacio Ortiz, and collaborated with them on sketches for publications of Alfonso Reyes and other writers.〔 In 1955, he enrolled in the Taller de Arts Plásticas at the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, graduating in 1958.〔 He continued with FAMA, marrying fellow Mexican artist Esther González, leaving in 1962 with her to move to Mexico City.〔〔 In 1978 he traveled to China to study.〔 He continues to live in Mexico City at a studio/home in Colonia Roma. His home is a frequent gathering place for writers, poets, painters, singers, actors and journalists. A pilot for a reality series was shot here. He has a strong interest in the Spanish language and its literature. Juan Rulfo stated that a number of Ceniceros’ landscapes have reminded him of the world of Pedro Páramo .〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Guillermo Ceniceros」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
