Jorge Figueroa Acosta is a Mexican painter and sculptor born (April 23, 1942) in Cananea, Sonora, Mexico. He studied at the National School of Plastic Arts Academy of San Carlos, regarded as the best school of arts in Mexico, of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Because his works, predominantly figurative, he's considered one of the representatives of the neofigurative tendency that in Mexico and some Latin American countries contributed to the rescue of the iconographic role of the figure, in a historical moment in which the abstraction has offered possibilities for artistic expression, albeit residual, to developers who saw in modernism an inexhaustible source of possibilities for the creation of theoretical frameworks to argue their artistic proposals. == Early life == Jorge Figueroa's childhood and adolescence were spent in Cananea, when the city was considered one of the powerhouses in mining production in northern Mexico, at a time when military supplies from the United States of America increased significantly due to the involvement of this the country in World War II.〔Humberto Monteón González, Gabriela María Luisa Riquelme Alcantar, y José Luis Tenorio García, ''Cananea, la guerra y la buena vecindad''. Hermosillo, Sonora, México. Editorial UNISON 2006, Colección ''Fuentes de la Historia''. ISBN 970-689-307-5〕 María Acosta Ramirez was his mother. His father, Jesús Maria Figueroa, was mestizo blooded, with Yaqui ascendancy; at a time when Yaqui people still remained as an aftertaste from the Porfirio Díaz dogged pursuit, despite the legitimate recognition given to the ethnicity by the General Lázaro Cárdenas's government. Because the discrimination was aimed at the family, the customs associated with their culture, and the demands of his work, Jesús Maria Figueroa changed their names and registered their children with the surname Figueroa Acosta.〔Gloria M. Delgado de Cantú, ''Historia de México, el proceso de gestación de un pueblo'', Volumen I, 5a edición, capítulo 11, México, Editorial Pearson 2006. ISBN 970-26-0797-3〕 In his childhood and during their studies in elementary school he attended in Cananea, the coexistence of Jorge Figueroa with his classmates was overshadowed by the provocations of which was the subject of Indian ancestry, even if that race was no longer evident in physiognomy due to dilution of the mixture. During his years as a student in high school he attended, also in Cananea, had contact with Roberto Cota N., drawing and painting teacher who taught him the first lessons in painting. During the adolescent stage, the teacher invited the young Figueroa to collaborate in the production of stage sets, mostly decorative backdrops for the arts festivals that took place in the same school. Its proximity with Roberto Cota, and the activities under his wing, helped awaken the desire for expression through the arts. 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「Jorge Figueroa Acosta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
