These timeless portraits that attest to the slow passage of time in the history of San Miguel and that are there as a monument to important days or to the subjective visions of painters have earned a place in the collective memory of the people of San Miguel as well as an important site not in the artistic pantheon since it is living and pulsating art but in the coming and going of the observer's gaze. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the one hand we have within the Ignacio Ram\u00edrez Cultural Center better known as \u201cThe Necromancer\u201d<\/a> You have magnificent murals such as Las Lavanderas, which was admired by Gabriela Mistral herself on one of her walks when she contemplated the work of the young Eleanor Cohen immersed in the process of painting it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously we have to mention the Siqueiros mural, which is still incomplete and was part of a theoretical-practical course on mural painting for a group of US war veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another mural that is a bit \u201cdisturbing\u201d because of its colorful, squinty-eyed characters was done by John de Melim, who was a part-time resident of San Miguel and a teacher in the 1950s.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focusing more on the history of Mexico, O'Neal, who was a painter under the tutelage of Diego Rivera, portrayed historical figures such as Benito Ju\u00e1rez and Ignacio Allende, as well as the representation of a mantle of the Virgin Mary, making for a beautiful meeting between such important characters.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEl Fanaticismo del Pueblo\u201d, \u201cLa Caza del Vampiro\u201d, \u201cLa Cantina\u201d and \u201cGuanajuato Almacigo de Patriotas\u201d are all works by Pedro Mart\u00ednez and even today they stand out among the art venue that continues its perennial expansion and teaching of the fine arts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just by walking through the walls of the Allende Institute<\/a> It is enough to absorb the pictorial greatness in the pores directly from the murals without needing to be great art experts or complicated explanations, because good art does not need great texts to be understood, much less to be felt.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
