Francisco Moreno (’20), painter and 2nd Floor resident of 100W, uses his work to explore our mythologies and the imprint the scale of those myths leaves on the psyche. In this episode of Rope Walker, Fransisco and Dr. Benjamin Lima, a Dallas-based art historian and editor of Athenaeum Review, the University of Texas at Dallas’ journal of arts and ideas, connect over art history and their shared project of reading Enrique Krauze’s Mexico, Biography of Power: A History of Modern Mexico. Moreno and Lima have had a long working relationship that evolved from an essay that Lima wrote about Francisco’s piece Chapel, an arched structure embellished with collage-like murals, which was recently acquired by the Dallas Museum of Art.
