Artist context
About Rodolfo Nieto
Rodolfo Nieto Labastida (1936–1985) was a Mexican painter, lithographer, and graphic artist associated with the Oaxacan School, a regional movement rooted in the cultural traditions of Oaxaca, Mexico. Born on July 13, 1936, he trained at art school beginning in 1954 under the painter and draftsman Carlos Orozco Romero and served as a student and assistant to Diego Rivera, one of Mexico's most celebrated muralists. Nieto's practice spanned painting, printmaking, and graphic work, contributing to the rich tradition of modern Mexican art during the second half of the twentieth century. His work is held in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Nieto died on June 24, 1985.
