José Emilio Amores Cañals (March 10, 1919 - June 27, 2014) was one of the first chemistry teachers at the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education and currently known for his work in promoting the arts from 1947 to the present in the city of Monterrey, Mexico. His cultural work grew out of his initial teaching job, when the director of the Palacio de Bellas Artes refused to help him bring musicians to play in Monterrey. He founded the Sociedad Artística Tecnológico, which he directed for thirty two years, followed by stints directing several museums and other cultural institutions. He also has written poetry, essays, books and a play. ==Life== José Emilio Amores was born in Frontera, Tabasco; however, three months later, his family went to live permanently in Mexico City. He did his schooling there, obtaining a bachelors in chemistry from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México . When he arrived to Monterrey in the 1940s, he thought the city was ugly, squat and hot, but soon found things that he felt were important, respect for human life and individuality, with little violence compared to the rest of the country. He says that people there felt that the north of the country had no culture, although he disagreed with that. He stated that they were aware that they had a “culture” of working and saving, distinct from the rest of the country, but did not accept that as culture as in artistic expression. Amores has been active well into his later years. As of the late 1990s, he stated he still liked to travel in Mexico, although he can no longer do long-distance driving. His house is filled with elements related to the arts including a piano, sculptures, paintings, books, records and videos.〔 Two of his closest friends are Virgilioi Garza and Ramón Lamadrid, with the three calling themselves the “Los Memelos.” 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「José Emilio Amores」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
