Biography
Manuel Rodríguez Lozano was born on December 4, 1891, in Mexico City, Mexico. He was a painter and draftsman involved in the Mexican muralism movement. His work is distinguished by a specific melancholic approach to depicting Mexico, which contrasts with the more common political or festive themes of Mexican muralism. Of particular significance in Lozano's oeuvre is his 'white stage,' characterized by cold colors and tragic scenes centered around human figures resembling skeletons or ghosts. This period reflected the artist's unique vision and influenced Mexican cinema, notably the film 'La perla.' Rodríguez Lozano passed away on March 27, 1971, in Mexico City, where he spent much of his life and creative career.
