        <h1 class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Roberto Montenegro (1887 – 1968)</h1>
      </div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s" align="justify">Do you think you may own a painting or illustration by Roberto Montenegro? We perform <a href="https://www.artexpertswebsite.com/authentication.php">art art authentications</a>, <a href="https://www.artexpertswebsite.com/appraisal/painting-appraisal.php">art appraisals</a>, <a href="https://www.artexpertswebsite.com/authentication/provenance-research.php">art research</a> and provide <a href="https://www.artexpertswebsite.com/authentication/certificate-of-authenticity.php">Certificates of Authenticity</a> (COA) as well as consultations, for all paintings and illustrations by Roberto Montenegro.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/montenegro_roberto/cabeza.azteca.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Cabeza Azteca</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s" align="justify">Montenegro began his studies in Guadalajara, Mexico under a Brazilian artist, Felix Bernardelli. Montenegro initially made illustrations for modernist art periodical, “Revista Moderna.”</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/montenegro_roberto/chucho.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Retrato de Chucho Reyes y Autor Retrato</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Montenegro soon moved to Mexico City and studied at the Academia de San Carlos alongside notables Diego Rivera, Angel Zarraga and Francisco Goitia.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/montenegro/Montenegro_LEpicerieDuBonPoete1939.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto" border="0"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">L’Epicerie Du Bon Poete, 1939</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Montenegro was awarded a scholarship from the Mexican government to study at the Academia de San Fernando in Madrid. Montenegro continued his studies in Europe, moving to Paris in 1907. In Paris Montenegro met Picasso, Juan Gris, Braque and Jean Cocteau. It was perhaps during this early sojourn to Europe that Montenegro picked up his distinctly “European” style. While much of Montenegro’s work echoes Mexican traditions and styles, he also ventured out into Surrealism to create a style of his own that was much different from his contemporaries.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img border="0" src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/montenegro/Montenegro_LaPrimeraDama.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">La Primera Dama, 1942</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img border="0" src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/montenegro/Montenegro_Profile.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Profile</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/montenegro/Montenegro_Odalisca.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto" border="0"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Odalisca</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">It has been said by some that Montenegro is one of the hardest Mexican artists to pinpoint in style as well as in technique. This is not surprising because Montenegro often bounced from one style to another and didn’t have any distinct techniques, which he incorporated in his compositions. Because of his extensive travels and often changing style, the possibility for an unknown Montenegro piece to surface is great.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/montenegro_roberto/desesperacion.m1.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Desesperacíon</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Rarely did Montenegro’s work pose a particularly social message, and if it did, it was certainly not as loud as that of other muralists of the time like Diego Rivera. However, because of Montenegro’s Surrealist nature, his work is full of symbolism, such as his 1949 piece Desesperacion, featuring a fleeing horse.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/montenegro_roberto/puerto.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Puerto de Venecia</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">During World War I Montenegro left France and spent five years in Mallorca. After the war, Montenegro returned to Mexico to paint several frescoes in the convent of San Pedro and San Pablo. During this period Montenegro is most recognized for his mural entitled “Fiesta de la Santa Cruz.”</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/montenegro_roberto/santacruz.jpg" alt="art"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">La Fiesta de la Santa Cruz</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In addition to working as a fine artist, Montenegro organized the first popular arts festival, published “Pintura Mexicana del Periodo 1800-1860,” and was involved with choreography and stage designs.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_l-z/montenegro_roberto/retrato.mujer.jpg" alt="art"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Retrato de Mujer</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">While Montenegro is well known for his murals, lithographs, oil paintings, stained glass and book illustrations, it is Montenegro’s portraits that brought him the most fame.
