Jesús Guerrero Galván (b. June 1, 1910 – d. May 11. 1973) was a Mexican artist, a member of the Mexican muralism movement of the early 20th century. He began his career in Guadalajara but moved to Mexico City to work on mural projects in the 1930s for the Secretaría de Educación Pública and Comisión Federal de Electricidad In addition, he did easel paintings, with major exhibitions in the United States and Mexico. In 1943, he was an artist-in-residence for the University of New Mexico, painting the mural Union of the Americas Joined in Freedom, considered to be one of his major works. Guerrero Galván was accepted as a member of the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana.
Federico Heraclio Cantú Garza (March 3, 1907 – January 29, 1989) was a Mexican painter, engraver and sculptor. While considered to be a member of the Mexican muralism movement, his style was noticeably different, mostly for adhering to older and more academic forms of painting and sculpture. He has his most success exhibiting in the United States and Europe, but he did murals and sculptures in Mexico. His best known work is a sculpture called “La maternidad” which has been adapted as logo of the Instituto Mexicano de Seguro Social (IMSS)
Guillermo Meza (September 11, 1917 – October 2, 1997) was a Mexican painter, known for his oils depicting fantastic background and often distorted human figures, generally with denunciations of society. He was born to a Tlaxcalteca indigenous father of modest means, but his parents had interest in the arts, history and literature. Meza showed interest in art and music in his youth, studying painting with Santos Balmori. Later, he approached Diego Rivera to look for an apprenticeship, but instead, the painter recommended him to the prestigious Galería de Arte Mexicana, which helped him develop as an artist as well as promoted his work for twenty years. Meza won various awards for his work during his career and was also granted membership in the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana.
The Galería de Arte Mexicano (GAM) was founded by Carolina and Inés Amor on 7 March 1940, in Mexico City and has been the first gallery of Mexican art. The gallery building was the first building in Mexico of Andrés Casillas de Alba.

uno de los grandes tesoros que nuestra
nación
lego a el arte universal
Si
a esto le sumamos que los inmuebles van siendo utilizados de manera
discrecional
El giro y su funcionamiento muchas veces estará fuera del contexto para
el cual estos fueron creados, con todo esto podemos imaginar que la obra mural casi
siempre queda a la deriva. Por fortuna
en Mexico contamos con gente en verdad profesional y dedicada a este tema de
prevención
, restauración
y recuperación
de obra.
La obra de Federico Cantú en Pinacoteca
Virreinal
El Ex Convento de San Diego es una
edificación
barroca que enmarca a un costado
“La
Alameda Central” , si bien el convento fue creada en torno a los Monjes
Dieguinos de San Francisco en el siglo XVI
fue alrededor de 1785 que dicho convento integro una nueva ala a manera
de capilla misma que contaba con un
altar barroco ahora desaparecido quedando como testimonio los motivos , ornamentos en relieve con monturas de oros de hoja.
En sus inicios careció de pinturas al
fresco ya que se acostumbraba decorar los muros con liensos de gran
formato mismos que también serian retirados en el siglo XIX o principios del XX .
Imaginando que con las leyes de reformas y
los cambios venideros de las guerras del XIX y del XX , llegamos a los años 40 s con una
edificación
segmentada y maltratada , es ahí donde entra Federico Cantú para pintar al fresco dos temas sacros
Uno dedicado a la música con el tema
que el titula Quinteto de Ángeles Músicos
Y posteriormente a finales de los 50s
pinta el tema de Los Informantes de Sahagún
El tema que nos compete ahora es preservar
, restaurar y recupera las partes perdidas del mural
Tomando el estarcido se hace una calca y
con ella se reponen las parte perdidas del mural
Para la Colección Cantú Y de Teresa es un honor el poder compartir con nuestros amigos de CENCROPAM nuestro acerbo que
incluye ( calcas , anteproyectos , estarcidos , fotografía y testimonios
del artista ) para poder recobrar esta obra mural.
