Robert and Mito Block were born in France and migrated to Mexico in the late 1930s and worked through the 1970s. They were known for their neoclassical style with a very sober air toward modernism. Besides being painters they had a decorating and design showroom in Mexico City at 254 Paseo de la Reforma known as Roberto Block SA. Their work is characterized by Greek-key motifs and tapered forms, primarily metalwork, sometimes with verre églomisé elements. Same as Arturo Pani, the Block Brothers used the Talleres Chacón blacksmith workshop in Mexico City for
the execution of their designs.
