Description: Internationally recognized, expressionist artist Rafael Coronel (Zacatecas 1931) is a master in of its realism combined with the technique of chiaroscuro, most evident in his early career, when he began to experiment with the handling of light over deep, dark backgrounds, an art production strongly influenced by artists like Caravaggio, Goya, Diego Velázquez, Honoré Daumier among others. The pieces of the exhibition, present in this catalogue, belong to the collections of the Fundación Black Coffee Gallery and of the Museo de las Artes (MUSA, Universidad de Guadalajara). "Black Coffee Foundation is inspired by the example of the artist from Zacatecas and is honored to share part of the most important collection of Rafael Coronel's work with the Mexican public - a group of 53 watercolor and acrylic paintings and 10 bronze sculptures. These works represent the painter's esthetic evolution, from 1962 to today"--Page 16.
