Description: The catalog represents, together with the exhibition, it is a tribute to the artist from Zacatecas on the centenary of his birth. The essays that make up this publication expose the artistic career of Pedro Coronel and focus especially on the ways in which, without taking a clear stance, he separated himself from the canons of the Mexican School of Painting to travel his own artistic path, dedicated to the creation of a new pictorial language that would process all the aesthetic influences from which it was nurtured: surrealism, those from the various cultures of the world with which it had contact, the symbols of the pre-Hispanic past, popular art, among others. Along with these, we should also mention his passion for collecting, which allowed him to treasure objects made in other spaces and times and draw inspiration from them for his pictorial-sculptural work. Pedro Coronel configured a creative space in which he constantly traveled between the figurative and the abstract, integrating forms and beings fused in intense and luminous color palettes. The book is made up of essays by Martín Coronel Ordiales, Iñaki Herranz Margain, Jorge Reynoso Pohlenz, Daniel Garza-Usabiaga and Marisol Argüelles. In addition to the critical points in the essays, the work section features the voices of writers and art specialists contemporary to Pedro Coronel. The exhibition included the painting Prometeo (1952), a gouache mounted on canvas that was lost for decades and today is exhibited for the first time
