Castellanos, Julio
(b Mexico City, 3 Oct 1905; d Mexico City, 16 July 1947). Mexican painter. At the age of 13 he entered the Academia de San Carlos in Mexico City, where he was taught by Saturnino Herrán and Leandró Izaguirre. At the end of a short stay in the USA he met Manuel Rodríguez Lozano, who decisively influenced his work. After holding his first exhibition in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1925, he moved to Paris, where he continued his studies and was exposed to the sources of great Western art. On his return to Mexico he took part in an exhibition organized by the group Los Contemporáneos, showing six works that displayed his departure from his earlier influences. He began at this time to stress volumetric form, almost sculptural in appearance, by means of colour and fluid line.
