Artist

Francisco Corzas

Francisco Corzas was a Mexican painter and draughtsman whose work emerged from the postwar Mexican art scene. Working primarily in oil and charcoal, he developed a figurative practice marked by psychological intensity and formal experimentation. Corzas's paintings often depicted isolated human forms rendered with gestural urgency and a muted, earthy palette. His career spanned the 1960s and 1970s, a period of significant artistic innovation in Mexico.
