Timeline

1847

The mural depicts a Mexican military Cadet jumping from the tower of Chapultepec Castle in 1847 wrapped in the Mexican flag in order to prevent its capture by the U.S. military forces.

As a presentation to TeQuila, one of Jalisco's largest exports, he accepted a request to paint Tahona y fiesta and Mitología e historia del TeQuila for Casa Sauza, a liquor factory in TeQuila, Jalisco.

1920

His early influences included Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco, both members of the Mexican Mural Renaissance in the 1920s and 1930s.

1930

Gabriel Flores (February 9, 1930 – December 14, 1993) was a Mexican painter and muralist born in Guadalajara, Jalisco.

Gabriel Flores García was born on February 8, 1930, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, although some sources mention El Arenal.

He was involved in the arts since early childhood and at the age of 17, he began his formal art studies.

1948

In 1948, he entered the School of Fine Arts at the University of Guadalajara.

Together with Guillermo Chávez Vega, Torreblanca, Miguel Aldana and Ignacio Martínez, they formed the Neo-realist art group, running counter to the abstract art movement at the time.

1951

His first achievement came early in 1951 when the Benjamin Franklin Library of Guadalajara presented an exhibition of his works.

Soon thereafter, he lived in Mexico City for a period of four years, where he worked alongside other distinguished painters.

At 25 years of age, he returned to his native land of Jalisco and abandoned his brief teaching duties to focus his career as a muralist.

His second exhibition in Guadalajara featured the mural, El maíz en la Colonia, now lost.

With an established recognition in the region, he was selected by then governor of Jalisco Agustín Yáñez to create two murals in the Public Library of the State, La imprenta en Jalisco (The Printing Press in Jalisco) and El parnaso jalisciense (The Jaliscan Parnassus), the latter of which is one of his most representative works.

1956

Between 1956 and 1993, his murals focused on historical and universal themes, as well as the ability of art functioning as social commentary.

1960

In the 1960s, at the height of his career, he created his magnum opus Los Niños Héroes, depicting the sacrifice of six child soldiers during the Mexican-American War.

Gabriel Flores described himself, saying "I do not want much; I have what I like, above all my freedom."

In 1960, he painted Alegoria de la Guerra y la Paz in the state of Michoacán, though it was later transferred to the governmental offices in Guadalajara.

Two years later, he was given the Jalisco Award in Culture, a recognition observed by the city to Jaliscans with excellence in the visual arts.

The city council also declared Gabriel Flores a "favorite son" and included his name in the School of Painters near Agua Azul park.

He reached his career high point in the latter half of the 1960s.

In creating La filosofía y la ciencia (Philosophy and Science) at the Salvador Allende auditorium in the University of Guadalajara, he sought to bring attention to the realities of poverty, social injustice, discrimination and consequences of industrialism and technology.

1967

Los Niños Héroes, painted in Chapultepec Castle in 1967, honors the child heroes who died in the Battle of Chapultepec during the Mexican–American War.

1970

There was a change in subject matter for Flores' murals at the turn of the 1970s, shifting from historical and universal themes to works containing his own ideas and feelings on social and political events.

He painted a series of murals, including Culto al Dinero (Worship of Money) and Estampas de la vida (Prints of Life), which did not garner much praise and were removed from exhibitions.

1984

In 1984, at the age of 54, the Jalisco government awarded him the Medal of the Arts.

1992

The state governor commissioned his last work, La historia de la medicina en Guadalajara (The History of Medicine in Guadalajara), which was completed at Antiguo Hospital Civil in 1992, just one year prior to his death.

2005

In 2005, he was recognized by the University of Guadalajara and was honored by the state congress as a distinguished Jaliscan painter.
