Emilio Amero
Born Ixtlahuaca, Mexico, 1901; died Norman, Oklahoma, 1976
Emilio Amero was a member of the Mexican muralist movement before becoming involved in lithography. In 1940, Aero moved to Seattle, where he taught at the University of Washington and later served as Director of Cornish College of the Arts. A few years later, he accepted a position teaching painting at the University of Oklahoma.
Amero's work, like that of such muralists as Diego Rivera, typically showed the struggles and oppression of the working class. Amero, however, usually presents some glimmer of hope, shown in the upwrd-turned faces of his figures.
