Ignacio Barrios

The book is a tribute to the life and work of painter Ignacio Barrios Prudencio (b. Zacualpan, Mexico State, 1930 - d. Mexico City 2013), coordinated by his son Andres Barrios Medellin. Ignacio Barrios belonged to an amazing generation of Mexican watercolor artists, whose work was characterized by his mastering technique of controlling moisture and creating a smooth wash, a difficult technique that results in light-filled and richly colored watercolors. The volume brings together a selection of 154 of his best works, as well as 4 texts with anecdotes and details about the world of watercolor.
