Note du spécialiste

The content of his latest work discloses an ideological unrest manifested in subjects and figures which, without being popular or picturesque, do savor of the Mexican people. In them, he depicts melancholy, irony, and expectation by the use of simple and cutting lines, animated by a growing pictorial harmony, enhances this vigor by means of the sober, dry color which, without being gray, unveils the dark and light tones of blue, rose and ochre.
