Francisco Toledo Art

Mexican, 1940-2019

Francisco Toledo was a Mexican Zapotec painter, sculptor and graphic artist. Throughout his career, he was dedicated to promoting and defending the arts and culture of his birthplace, Oaxaca, Mexico. From a very young age, Toledo's artistic talent and abilities were recognized. He studied art in Oaxaca, during his youth and as a young man, moved to Paris, to continue his studies. While residing in France, he traveled throughout Europe, where he saw and was influenced by the work of many artists, including Paul Klee and Jean Dubuffet. However, unlike these European artists, Francisco Toledo's work never became completely abstract.
