Rafael Coronel - Mexico
Art Brokerage: Rafael Coronel Mexican Artist: B. 1932. Rafael Coronel was born 24 October in Zacatecas, Zac. Younger brother of Pedro Coronel He is a modern Latin American artist and painter from Mexico. He was the son-in-law of Diego Rivera. His representational paintings have a melancholic sobriety, and include faces from the past great masters, often floating in a diffuse haze. Coronel became a lonely man in 1969 when his wife, Ruth, the daughter of Diego Rivera and Lupe MarÃn, and mother of his only son, Juan Coronel, died. On the occasion of his 80th birthday in September 2011 Fine Arts opened in "retro-futuristic", an exhibition of 109 works that Raphael created, 18 that year. These works break with earlier work by Colonel, because "in the same figuration, there are some decrepit characters. He puts the focus on the end of life, of women and men in old age. This is different, because we are used to seeing old age redeemed; in these tables, old age is presented as decline, an aspect never explored", said Juan Coronel Rivera, the son of the artist.
