Raul Anguiano was an eclectic Mexican painter, sculptor and muralist who worked with well-known post-revolutionary artists Jose Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros and Diego Rivera.

The artist's varied work, seen frequently in Southern California, includes landscapes, raw cubist designs, tapestries, graceful portraiture and massive murals. He made lithographs, sculptures and ceramics along with his paintings and drawings, and was particularly praised for his ability to depict Mayans and other indigenous groups.   

Anguiano's work was exhibited in more than 100 shows around the world, including a retrospective in Los Angeles for the 1984 Olympic Arts Festival. His creations remain in permanent collections in the San Francisco Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Royal Museum of Art and History in Brussels, and others around the world.
