Title: Jesús Gallardo
Description: This monumental book pays homage to the memory and legacy of the master Jesús Gallardo, who, in addition to his educational imprint, painted Guanajuato like no one had done before in terms of artistic quality, loving identification, and quantity. Jesús Gallardo was born on December 11, 1931 in the city of León and in 1947 he entered the National School of Plastic Arts of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Since then and to date he has had a large artistic production in painting and murals having as main theme the landscapes of the state capital. José de Santiago Silva carries out a critical study of the life and work of master Gallardo, before the layout of this copy opens up the aesthetic pleasure of the engraving, drawing, landscape and mural work of the Guanajuato artist; the book is complemented by chronology, iconography and sources.
