About the Item

Beautiful Mexican landscape painting by Alfonso Pena Oil on canvas created 1963. Mexican subject. Excellent condition, unframed. Measures: 19 3/4" H x 24 1/4" W. Signed and dated lower left. Alfonso X. Pena (1903-1964) a native of Tamaulipas, was born in Ciudad Victoria to an artistic family. He started as a cartoonist for El Mundo in Tampico, then left his hometown in search of better opportunities and moved to New York. He belonged to a group of artists comprising Rufino Tamayo, José Juan Tablada, Matías Santoyo and Miguel Covarrubias, among others. During that time, he improved his drawing technique and use of color. When Alfonso came back to Mexico, he set up a workshop in Pescaditos in Mexico City, where he produced extremely creative works. Alfonso X. Peña painted murals in Paris, Los Angeles, Caracas, Mazatlán and Cuernavaca and staged major exhibitions in Spain, the United States, Italy and France. In 1950, he received the José Clemente Orozco medal and in 1957 he was awarded a Gold Medal as a muralist at the International Exhibition in Paris.
