Juan O'Gorman

Japanese: オゴルマン（英語表記）Juan O’Gorman

1905‐82
A Mexican painter, architect and printmaker. While he was influenced by the modernist movement, he also deeply considered indigenismo and worked throughout his life to establish his identity as a Mexican artist. In painting, he created works that made full use of trompe l'oeil in tempera techniques. In architecture, he was a pioneer of functionalist theory. The mural mosaic decorations at the Central Library of the National University of Mexico beautifully combine modern architecture and Indian tradition. [Kato Kaoru]

1905‐82
メキシコの画家，建築家，版画家。モダニズム運動の洗礼を受ける一方で，インディヘニスモへの考察も深め，メキシコ人作家としてのアイデンティティ確立に終生取り組んだ。絵画ではテンペラ画法でトロンプ･ルイユを駆使した画面を構成する。建築では機能主義理論の先駆者。メキシコ国立大学中央図書館の壁画モザイク装飾は，近代建築とインディオの伝統がみごとに結びついている。【加藤薫】
