Born in 1929, Lucinda Urrusti was a Mexican art critic known also for her Impressionistic and abstract painting as well as portrait painting. Born in Spanish Morocco, the family fled to Mexico at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War when she was 10 years old. She attended La Esmeralda on an informal basis, studying drawing with Jesus Guerrero Galvan (see June 5 post) and painting with Agustin Lazo Adalid (see February 6 post). She became associated with the Generacion de la Ruptura, a group of artists who broke away from Mexican muralism (the dominant force in the Mexican art world).
Urrusti has had many solo and collective exhibits of her work in Mexico and abroad. She has also worked as an art teacher and curator for Palacio de Bellas Artes.
