Guillermo Meza (September 11, 1917 October 2, 1997) was a Mexican painter, known for his oils depicting fantastic background and often distorted human figures, generally with denunciations of society. He was born in México of very humble origin. His outstanding sensitivity was apparent early in life by his desire to study music and drawing. He studied at the Escuela Nocturna de Arte para Trabajadores No 1 Art Night School for Workers No. Under his teacher, Santos Balmori Picasso, Meza developed an exceptional talent and unique technique in drawing. He mastered drawing with pastels using whites, greens, reds and yellows thereby defining a recognizable “Meza” style. When Diego Rivera discovered Guillermo Meza in 1940, he arranged for Meza’s first one man show which was held at the Galeria de Arte Mexicano. Meastro Meza participated in a large number of exhibits throughout México, the United States and Europe. During his lifetime, his aesthetic interests varied from expressionism, Dadaism and post-Dadaism and then surrealism. His early works were in an expressionist style, with symbolism of rupture and denouncement against society. He then experimented with Dadaism techniques which gave way to a kind of anarchism searching for pure liberty. However, these gave way to surrealism as a less extreme expression as he became an admirer of André Breton as well as Sigmund Freud, calling himself a apolitical surrealist with elements of realism emerging making his work neither literal or oppressively symbolic.
