Gloria Calero de Urueta (1906 – 1990) was a painter in her own right, influenced by her contemporaries the Mexican Muralists, as well as the wife of artist Federico Cantú. Well immersed in Mexico City’s thriving 1930s artistic milieu, Calero counted among her friends, Inés Amor, founder of the influential Galería de Arte Mexicano, David Alfaro Siqueiros, the painter of the present work, and many other cultural luminaries. It was in these bohemian circles that Calero and Cantú met and began a romantic relationship that eventually led them to marry after they both divorced their first spouses. It is said that Calero and Cantú were inseparable in their more than fifty years of marriage together.
