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.

Artist Motivation - Mandela, Former South African President, Inspirational Words
By Nelson Mandela
Located in Knowle Lane, Cranleigh
Nelson Mandela, Artist's Motivation, Signed Limited Edition Lithograph
Many people are unaware that Nelson Mandela turned his hand to art in his 80's as a way of leaving a legacy for his family. He spent time with an art tutor and learnt to draw. In 2002, when creating the The Motivation print, he told Anna and Laura from Belgravia Gallery of his desire to become a full time artist when he retired.
This artwork is a handwritten Artist’s Motivation by Nelson Mandela and reads:
“Today when I look at Robben Island I see it as a celebration of the struggle and a symbol of the finest qualities of the human spirit, rather than as a monument to the brutal tyranny and oppression of apartheid.
Robben Island is a place where courage endured in the face of endless hardship, a place where people kept on believing when it seemed their dreams were hopeless and a place where wisdom and determination overcame fear and human frailty.
