Title:	Untitled Composition
Artist:	Rangel Faz, Mario (Mexico City, born, 1956)
Date:	c. 1980
Medium	Original Watercolor
Note:	Mario Rangel Faz: One of Mexico's most highly respected contemporary artists, Mario Rangel Faz studied art at the Academia de San Carlos. Upon graduating, he worked for several years as an instructor for the Museo Nacional de Arte y X-Catedra.
	In 1976, Mario Rangel Faz became a founding member of "Grupo Suma", a Mexico City artist's collective that helped to shape contemporary Mexican art and protest. Inspired in part by the 1968 murder and imprisonment of hundreds of university students in the plaza of Tlatelolco, "Suma" was formed both to criticize Mexican systems of local and national government and to challenge the idea of art as a commodity for the wealthy. Rangel and others thus literally took their art to the streets of Mexico City, painting large murals showing the current conditions of Mexico's poor, indigenous and Mestizo populations, or satirizing urban types such as the bureaucrat. Mario Rangel Faz at this time was a constant thorn in the side of the Mexican authoritarian government, and "Suma" remained one of the few voices of protest within the country, since all newspapers, radio and television stations were completely controlled by government bureaucrats.
	After "Suma" disbanded in 1982, Mario Rangel Faz continued to bring his art to the people. He not only created many fine paintings, drawings and woodcuts but also became a leading designer for major dance and theatre productions throughout the country. During the past five years he has worked closely with the El Nopal Press in Los Angeles California, a literary and visual arts institution that examines the plight of Latin Americans living in California.
	For the past thirty years the art of Mario Rangel Faz has been included in many important exhibitions in both Mexico and the United States. Some of these are, "Otra Generacion, Foro de Arte Contemperaneo", Mexico City, 1980, "Trastiempo: La Ueva Pintura Mexicana", Museo de Arte Moderno, Mexico City, 1983, "Confrontacion", Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes, Mexico City, 1986, and "Aqui y Alla", Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Los Angeles, California, 1986.
