Roberto Guardia Berdecio[1] (20 October 1910–1996) was a Bolivian-born artist and a significant contributor to the important political and cultural art movement in Mexico during the 1950s and 1960s.
Berdecio moved to Mexico in the late 1940s where he continued his career in art.
He painted murals and portraits, created lithographs and artistic explorations into the fourth dimension.
Berdecio's archives, which outlined his collaboration with David Alfaro Siquieros in New York and Mexico, were purchased by the Getty Museum in 1995.
They moved to the U.S., and traveled annually to Europe and South America, where the artist's politically prominent brother, Mario Mercado, resided in La Paz.
