Description: Critical texts on the life and art of painter Margarito Vela (b. San Luis Potosí ca.1871-1917). The early 20th century painter was considered by his peers as a competent copyist, with an "attitude of submission to the social expectation, an absolute negative to academic development and no inclination to develop original works" (Our translation)--Page 10. Author Gómez Eichelmann analyses unclear passages of the painter's biography and personality and the socio-cultural context that depreciated his art and categorized him only as an "artisan". despite his artistic legacy.
