Carlos Merida

Carlos Merida (1891/95 - 1984) was active/lived in Mexico, Guatemala.  Carlos Merida is known for Geometric abstract painting, graphics, murals.

Born in Guatemala but spending most of his career in Mexico, Carlos Merida first established a reputation as a figurative painter beginning 1907, but in 1927, he abandoned that approach to become one of the pioneering non-figurative, geometric abstract artists in Mexico.  In the 1920s, he also went through a Surrealist phase.

One of his unique contributions to art in the Americas was fusing elements of that culture to what he had learned from European modernists.  He also did artwork with geometric symbolism linked to the Mayan culture, and incorporated barkwood paper into his paintings.

From 1908 to 1914, he was in Europe including four years in Paris, beginning 1910 where he associated with avant-garde artists including Pablo Picasso and Amadeo Modigliani.   He studied with Hermengildo Anglade y Camarosa and Kees Van Dongen.

His early training was at the Institute de Artes y Artesanias in Guatemala City and in Quelzaltenango.   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 2997 characters.]  Artist bio
