Roberto Donis (b. February 26, 1934 – d. 2008) was a Mexican painter and art teacher. He began studying art at the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado "La Esmeralda", but unsatisfied with the instruction, helped organize a student strike. It was unsuccessful and rather than return to school, he decided to go to Morelia to teach. Donis’ art career consisted of exhibitions both in Mexico and abroad, including an important exhibition at the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City and accepted as a regular with the prestigious Galería de Arte Mexicano. His teaching career included directorship at the Universidad Autónoma Benito Juárez as well as helping to found the Taller de Artes Plásticas Rufino Tamayo in the city of Oaxaca. He received several recognitions for his work, including membership in the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana. ==Life== Roberto Donis was born in the small town of Venado in the state of San Luis Potosí. In 1950, he entered the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado "La Esmeralda" at age sixteen, studying principally under Carlos Orozco Romero but at this time he work was also influenced by figurative Mexican painters Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco and Manuel Rodríguez.〔 In 1953, not satisfied with the education he was receiving, he organized a student revolt along with Rafael Coronel and Gilberto Aceves Navarro. Fifteen students resigned together for set up their own exhibition in the basement of the Excelsior newspaper building. However, the event was short-lived and achieved little as their demands were ignored and the group went back to school, all except Donis who then went to Michoacán to teach.〔 He returned to Mexico City in 1956, hoping to sell his paintings and earn enough money to travel abroad.〔 In 1962 and 1963, he lived in Paris and studied art history at the École du Louvre. During this time, he came into contact with various avant garde artists, which motivated him to experiment with abstract art.〔 He also developed lifelong friendships with Mexican artists Rufino Tamayo, Francisco Toledo and Jorge Dubon.〔 He returned to Mexico in 1963.〔 From 1966 to 1969 he lived in New York. This time he received influence from American abstract art.〔 His relationship with Toledo led him to settle in Oaxaca after he returned to Mexico in 1970, acquiring a large house in the small town of Santa María de Tule, near the city of Oaxaca.〔 He had six daughters Denhi, Paulina, Yerina, Guiexoba, Oralia, and Eugenia.〔 Donis died of cancer in 2008.〔 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「Roberto Donis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
