Jorge Gallardo (also known as the Artist of the People) was born in San Jose, Costa Rica on December 12, 1924.[1] He was an artist and writer who traveled the world to improve his styles and techniques. As a teenager, Jorge Gallardo did not aspire, to be painter to be painter; instead, Gallardo dedicated his time earning money as a bank accountant at the Bank of Costa Rica.[1] It was later in his last years of high school when Gallardo attention for art began to grow, and in 1948, he was able to chase his dreams as an artist with the help of Gonzalo Morales who helped him develop his passion as an artist.[2] Gallardo was able to obtain scholarships and grants to travel and study at well known schools of art, such as the Academy of San Fernando in Spain, and San Marcos Academy in Italy, and later traveled to study back in Latin American academies, in which one of the school he attended was the Esmeralda Academy in Mexico.[3][4] Throughout the period that he was traveling across the world, Gallardo improved his art skills and started to get recognized as an artist through multiple awards.[5] Upon his return to the end of his educational period, Gallardo returned to San Jose, Costa Rica, in which he created artwork for big companies and associations, including National Bank of Costa Rica, The Porfirio Brenes Castro School, The Residence for Polio Children, amongst others.[3] As a writer, Jorge Gallardo also numerous short novels and poems that focused on his developing study of Christina Realism, in which he criticized several leading countries through religious perspectives in Divine Justice (1974), Redagogia Diabolica (1978), among several other of his work.[4] As an Artist, he was regarded as the “Artist of the People” because his work portrayed the everyday life of the working-class citizens in Costa Rica through flat, yet vibrant, colors which can be seen through Puntarenas, Bajo el Arbol, Cosecha, and several others.[4] Jorge Gallardo passed away in 2002.[6]
