Author Description

The book reproduces a series of art works of different characteristics, formats and themes by Julio Castillo and Gerardo Esquivel, two artists from the UAEM who created it during their stay in Barcelona (Spain) in the summer of 1986. When they heard that their mentor J. Jesus Rodriguez de la Vega a noted sculptor and professor had died that same year they decided to dedicate their art creation to him. The original edition was later donated by the artists and is now part of the art collection of the university. "It's the outcome of a trip that cost them "blood and fire", with symbolic supports and hunger to learn, they did together a book that today is a testimony of a generation that dared to break with tradition, recognizing the lighthouse that meant their preceptors." (Our translation) --P. [11].
