Additional Information
The Maker
Roberto de la Selva (1895-1957) was a Nicaraguan native artist who moved to Mexico City in 1921 as a protest against U.S. military occupation. He would go on to be apart of a movement known as Mexican Modernism alongside artists like Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco. Roberto was mostly known for his bas relief woodworking. He studied art at Mexico City's Academy of San Carlos and apprenticed as a wood craftsman in Apizaco. He is also the brother of poet Salomon de la Selva.
