Judith Gutierrez - Mexican Artists

Judith Gutierrez (Babahoyo, Ecuador, 1927 - Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, 2003) was a well-known master Latin American painter who worked in Ecuador and Mexico.

Gutierrez studied in the School of Fine Arts in Guayaquil, Ecuador, with her teacher Caesar Andrade Faini. A great part of her life was just spent living and painting at Mexico. Gutierrez and her husband left Ecuador, feeling like political banishes, due to the military government of the time.
Some of Gutierrez’s most significant works are: Dancer’s Memory of the Artist, Book for The Blind and The Christ of Santa Elena.

Gutierrez held many individual exhibitions and is represented in many galleries and museums at New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Pasadena, Washington, Great Britain, Osaka, Guayaquil, Quito, Mexico City, Munich, Havana, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Panama, and even at Sao Paulo.
