Laureano Ladrón de Guevara

After gaining recognition for his work and with the money he earned from his first exhibition, he traveled to Europe in 1924 to devote himself to studying the techniques of fresco painting and engraving.

Inspired by Paul Cézanne, he joined the movement for the renewal of French painting and was a great admirer of cubist artists.

[3] In his works he recreated the coastal and rural landscape, still life, portraits and traditional scenes, through pen, ink, chalk, charcoal, oil, watercolor, fresco painting, murals and stained glass.

He was noted for the strength of his drawing and recreation of intimate and melancholic atmospheres through a color that characterized Generation Thirteen and which was dominated by pastel and earthy tones.

Among the numerous awards he received during his life, the prize obtained at the Latin American Exhibition in Seville in 1929, shared with Arthur Gordon is the most noteworthy.
