Noe Canjura (Apopa, El Salvador, August 14, 1922 - Morienval, France, September 29, 1970) was a Salvadoran painter and a prominent figure in 20th century modern art in France. == First steps == Noe Canjura was born in 1922, in Apopa a village in the Republic of El Salvador in Central America, to a family of landless peasants of humble origin. By the time of his decease he was recognized as one of the leading landscape, still life and figure painters of France. As a youth Canjura was raised in intimate contact with the struggle of wrestling a livelihood from the infertile soil of his native village. To pay part of his expenses and to lighten the weight of the sacrifices his father made to keep him in school, Canjura worked in a sawmill and often spent the night there, sleeping on bare boards. His talent for drawing came to light when he was seventeen years old and, without knowing how or why, his adventure in the art world began. He first studies painting at the Academy of Painting of Valero Lecha in San Salvador (1942–1946). Beginning in 1942 Canjura took part in all of the group exhibitions throughout El Salvador and several years later was exhibiting in Guatemala. In 1948 he travelled to Mexico City to continue his studies, there he was strongly influenced by Diego Rivera, who with Orozco and Siqueiros, was at the height of his fame. Gradually Rivera’s influence lessened and Canjura turned to the art of Gauguin, gaining from him the idea of formal order in painting and the use of curves. The same year had his first exhibition in the United States. 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「Noe Canjura」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
