Description:
(Artist) Carlos Mérida was a Guatemalan artist known for blending European modern painting with Latin American themes, particularly those of Guatemala and Mexico. He was associated with the Mexican muralism movement but developed a distinct non-figurative and later geometric style. Mérida was renowned for his canvas and mural works, often incorporating glass and ceramic mosaic elements. Despite the loss of his major work in the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, his legacy endures through monuments and continued appreciation for his innovative contributions to art.
