Francisco Dosamantes (Mexican, 1911-1986). "Mayan Landscape" lithograph, 1947. Edition 250. Hand signed on the lower right, a beautiful lithograph by Mexican artist Francisco Dosamantes presenting a picturesque landscape with thatch-roofed houses nestled amidst leafy trees and maguey cacti. A woman at the doorway to the home closest to the viewer greets a young man who is dismounting his burro. This work stems from Dosamantes' involvement with "indigenismo" movement among early Modern Mexican artists. He took part in cultural missions of the Secretariat of Public Education in Oaxaca, Michoacan, and other rural states and developed an immense sympathy for their indigenous communities, thereafter devoting himself to political and cultural activism. Dosamantes created a series of lithographs depicting the lives of rural Maya in Campeche which have earned well-deserved recognition and have been acquired by numerous public and private collections. Size of sheet: 12.75" L x 17" W (32.4 cm x 43.2 cm) Size of mat: 13.875" L x 18.5" W (35.2 cm x 47 cm)
Born in Mexico City, painter, illustrator, and printmaker Francisco Dosamantes studied at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plasticas (National School of Fine Art) as well as the University of Mexico. His first solo exhibition took place at the Gallery of Modern Art of the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City in 1930. He went on to have many one-man exhibitions in Mexico and was invited to participate in group exhibitions in Cuba, Spain, the Soviet Union, and Switzerland. His work was also exhibited throughout North America, and may be found in The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the New York Public Library, and the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. as well a many other institutions. In addition, he was a founding member of the Taller de Grafica Popular and a member of the League of Revolutionary Writers and Artists.
