I am sad to report the passing of Luis Nishizawa.  In 1949 he was part of the that founded the "taller de integración plástica, directed by artist Chávez Morado that functioned in la Ciudadela.  He is considered to be the premier landscape artist of 20th century Mexico. He has also created murals that include the one installed in Japan in 1981.
