Adolfo García Obregón (1865–1931) was a Dominican Republic painter, illustrator, teacher, and art critic.
The son of a Dominican mother and Spanish father, García Obregón was born in Cuba and settled in Santo Domingo at a very young age, where he studied painting in the art school of Luis Desangles, and then travelled to Europe where he completed his training.
[1] He mostly painted landscapes, pictorial scenes, and portraits in the Romantic and Neoclassical style.
Along with contributing illustrations to various art magazines, Obregón wrote articles on contemporary artists and taught drawing and painting in the early decades of the 20th century.
[4] After returning to Santo Domingo, García Obregón became a professor at the Normal School, founded by Eugenio María de Hostos, and established his own private school of artistic education in 1901; later he went on to teach art at Abelardo Rodríguez Urdaneta's art academy.
