“When people think of Mexico’s muralism movement they remember Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros, among many others, but Julia López was and is also a part of that artistic movement as well. López was born in Ometepec, Costa Chica, Guerrero in 1936. Her parents were humble farmers and she was one of eight children. She taught herself to do math and read, and began her career by working in hotels and modeling bridal dresses. She met Frida Kahlo in 1952 and slowly became a part of Mexico City’s arts community. López’s first art exhibit was in 1958 and has now been displayed in galleries all over the world. She currently lives and works in Mexico City.” (x)
