Jesus Reyes Ferreira Biography

(b guadalajara, 10 oct 1882; d mexico city, 5 aug 1977). mexican painter, sculptor and collector. he led a very curious life, surrounded by the antiques that he collected. in guadalajara and later in mexico city he produced what he called his ‘smeared papers’: sheets of india paper painted with washes of brilliantly coloured aniline dyes that he prepared himself, with the occasional addition of silver or gilt. horses and cockerels were his favourite subjects, but he also painted exhausted girls, bleeding christs, angels, demons and angel–demons, skulls, clowns, prostitutes, circus performers, monks, doves and flowers. his painting has a very particular charm, inspired by popular and colonial art, the aesthetic value of which he was instrumental in promoting. though influenced by georges rouault and by marc chagall (whom he met in mexico in 1942), he was one of the most original figures in 20th-century mexican art.
