This Mexican painter and muralist was born in Tepeapulco, in 1927. Jose Hernandez Delgadillo came from a rural upbringing and did not begin studying art until 1945. Delgadillo was also quite politically active and used his mural work to promote his message of social injustice. The artist wrote a weekly column for the Excelsior newspaper. He created over 160 murals during the course of his lifetime. His murals have indigenous cultural nuances lending a primeval air.
Delgadillo was married to artist Beatriz Zamora and had 3 children with her. He died in 2000, the day after Christmas.
