Rodolfo Morales - Mexican artist


Rodolfo Morales (May 8, 1925 - Jan 30, 2001) was a surrealist Mexican painter.


Morales are best known for his brightly coloured surrealistic dream-like canvases and collages frequently featuring Mexican women in village settings.



He was famous for his restoration of historic buildings in Ocotlan, Mexico and together with Rufino Tamayo and Francisco Toledo, helped make Oaxaca in Southern Mexico a centre for contemporary art and sightseeing. Up until his death in 2001, both he and Toledo had been regarded as Mexico’s best living artists for over a decade.
