52.0 x 62.0 cm
Museum of the Arts of the University of Guadalajara
The small urban landscape, property of the Museum of Art (MUSA), depicts the facade of the building from the early twentieth century that currently houses the museum, sketched with swift strokes, giving the painting dynamism in a combination of straight and curved lines, accentuated by lights and color contrasts. The yellows contrast with the purplish shadows that the trees cast on the sidewalk, shaded in following the impressionist style, without using the color black, in a play of color combinations that repeats on the surface’s top and bottom to achieve compositional balance. The brightness of Guadalajara’s blue sky stands out in the landscape’s background, in a painting that the artist donated after the retrospective exhibition organized at the museum in 1996, entitled Los talleres del viajero (TheTraveler’s Workshops).
