 Carlos
Merida, a Guatemala born artist of Quiche Maya descent, as a youth
traveled to Paris where he was friends with Modigliani and other
modernists. Returning to the Americas, he briefly worked with the
Mexican muralists, but soon mainly abandoned representational painting
in favor of cubism often with themes based on his Maya roots. He did
however briefly return to representational art to produce several series
of prints of Guatemalan and Mexican indigenous dress. |
