Gilberto Navarro

Gilberto Aceves Navarro was a Mexican painter and sculptor. Aceves-Navarro was a member of one of the most vital movements in Mexican Art in the 20th Century: El Salón Independiente. The movement was a reaction to the need for social and political change that was set in motion in 1968. Its members formed the group known as La Ruptura or The Rupture which bequeathed the nation with a new definition of contemporary Mexican art. It is now considered the link between the Muralismo Movement of the early 1900’s and the current Contemporary Méxican Art tendencies.
