About the Item
José Meléndez Contreras
Naguabo, P.R., 1921 - Bayamón, P.R., 1998
Biography Details
Painter and printmaker. He began his art studies in 1936 with Carmelita González Córdoba, a student of Fernando Díaz McKenna. He worked as an illustrator for the National Youth Administration (1938), as a sign labeler in F. A. Ortiz’s sign shop (1942) and as a draftsman for the Puerto Rico Telephone Co. (1943). He studied art in Panama while serving as a soldier during World War II. He returned to Puerto Rico in 1946 and studied painting and drawing with Luisina Ordóñez and, subsequently, with Cristóbal Ruiz y Walt Dehrer at the University of Puerto Rico. The government of Puerto Rico awarded him a scholarship in 1947, and he pursued studies at the Cincinnati Academy of Art in Ohio, U.S.A. Upon his return to the island in 1950, he worked as a draftsman at the Seminary School of the Department of Education. Later, from 1952 to 1977, he joined the printmaking workshop of the Community Education Division as a book and poster designer. His pictorial work placed specific emphasis on form, which the artist relegated to lines and colors. His use of geometry to synthesize forms depicts the modernist tendencies of the times, such as Cubism.
