Due to the recent presidential election and resultant political situation in the USA, I find myself living at least part time in Mexico for the next four years. My previous blogs have focused on famous artists in general...Van Gogh's Ear 3 is an indepth look at Mexican artists on their birthday. A post will be made each day about a famous Mexican artist, his/her art, interesting facts, personal experiences, etc. on their birthday. So, lend me your ear...

Jose Garcia Narezo
Born in Madrid, Spain, Jose Garcia Narezo's birthday is today, November 26, 1922. His father was a Spanish artist, writer and critic; his mother was Mexican. He studied first at Escuela de Pintura al Aire Libre, in Mexico and then fled there again to avoid the Spanish Civil War, eventually becoming a citizen.
Although Nareza created canvas paintings, watercolors and book illustrations, he is best known for his murals. His work has been exhibited in collectives in the US and Mexico. He has also had numerous individual showings. Jose Garcia Nareza lived to be 70 years old.
