Sérvulo Gutiérrez Alarcón (1914 – 21 July 1961) was a Peruvian artist,〔Sullivan, Edward J.

Retrieved 20 September 2009.〕 He was initially untaught and self-educated, but then trained under the artist Emilio Pettoruti. Gutiérrez had a relationship with Doris Gibson. == Life == Sérvulo Gutiérrez was born in Ica. He had little in the way of normal education and initially trained in Lima to be a boxer. He moved to Buenos Aires, where he focused on pottery of the Pre-Columbian period, establishing premises to both conserve such items as well as to manufacture new ones in the tradition of that style.〔Mackay, W. Iain. "Gutiérrez Alarcón, Sérvulo", (Oxford art online ) (subscription). Retrieved 20 September 2009.〕 Gutiérrez was self-taught until he had the opportunity to study in Buenos Aires for eight years with the major Argentine painter, Emilio Pettoruti (1892–1971).〔Bethell, Leslie (1998).

("Peru's first 'visionary' editor" ), BBC, 30 August 2008.
