Monumental sculptor Federico Canessi was born on September 25, 1906, in Mexico City. After studying in Mexico, he then traveled to the US and Europe on scholarship in 1924. In addition to his own sculpture, he was a mentor to his step-son Antonio Castellanos (see October 14 post). The two sculptors completed several sculptures in collaboration.
Due to the immensity of his work, all of Canessi's work has Mexico has its home! Supporting this claim...see his sculpture located in Tlapehuala Guerrero Mexico!
