Pop UpJesus Helguera

Jesus Enrique Emilio Helguera Espinoza was born in Chihuahua, Mexico on May
28, 1920. Throughout his childhood, his family relocated, first to Mexico
City then to Cordoba, Veracruz and finally to Ciudad Real, Spain. Having
shown remarkable aptitude for drawing, he moved to Madrid with his paternal
grandparents in order to study in the Escuela de Artes y Oficios. Later, at
Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, he studied under the famous
painters Jose Moreno and Julio Romero de Torres. He followed this period
working as a landscape painter in Segovia. In Madrid he won a prize in the
exhibition entitled "Obras del Ario" which enabled him to study at the
Granda residence in the Alhambra By this time he was well recognized as an
illustrator. At the age of eighteen he became a professor of Visual Arts in
Bilbao.

During the Spanish Civil War, he returned to Mexico with his wife. While in
Mexico City, he found work as an illustrator in the editorial house of
Francisco Sayrols. From 1937-1940 he created sketches and covers for the
publication entitled "Sucesos para Todos." In 1935, he began to be known as
a painter of Almanacs. His works "La Fiesta del isimo" and "Poco a Poquito"
were reproduced in 1939 by the lithographic company Le Ensenanza Objective.
The next year he painted his legendary piece "The Legend of the Volcanos" by
which he began to revise Pre-Colombian mythology, an image that has been
continuously reproduced since that time period.

Jesus de a Helguera died in Mexico City on December 4, 1971. Nevertheless,
he obtained the finest and most enduring of tributes; his utopian, romantic
images became the identity symbols of the everyday citizen in Mexico and the
Chicano/Mexican in the United States. Hence these reinterpreted
Pre-Colombian images were, and still remain, one of the most important
obtainable Mexican icons in the Untied States.
