>One of Mexico's most popular engravers, illustrators and political
>cartoonists, Alberto Beltran Garcia, who has died of heart failure aged
80,
>remained faithful to his country's revolutionary tradition.
>The son of a Mexico City tailor, he studied art in an era when artists
such
>as Diego Rivera were producing grandiose murals celebrating the 1910
>revolution. Beltran's more down-to-earth attitude fitted better with
the
>ethos of the Taller de la Grafica Popular (workshop of popular
graphics),
>of which he became a leading member.
>Anti-clericalism and dislike of big business were central to his work.
His
>best known foray into grand-scale art was a series of mosaic murals at
the
>anthropology museum in Jalapa, in the state of Veracruz. His mosaic
>depiction of Quetzalcoatl, the main pre-hispanic god, was inaugurated
in
>1968, and Beltran taught at Veracruz state art school until the 1970s.
>H e had developed a career as a political cartoonist in the 1950s, and

>helped start the Mexico City daily El Dia in 1962. He defined himself
as
>critical of power, but never targeted the Institutional Revolutionary
>party, which governed Mexico from 1929 until 2000, remaining loyal even

>during the crackdown of pro-democracy students in 1968.
>Beltran worked with the writer and social critic Elena Poniatowska on
Todo
>Empezo el Domingo (Everything Began On Sunday, 1965), an exploration of

>traditional working-class Sunday strolls, and illustrated innumerable
other
>books, including Oscar Lewis's social anthropology classic, Life In A
>Mexican Village and B Traven's The Creation Of The Sun And The Moon. He
won
>a clutch of prizes for his work.
>He never married or had children; he was, he said, married to his
profession.
