Biography
Luis Arenal had two siblings, a brother named Leopoldo, and a sister named Angélica, the later wife of David Alfaro Siqueiros.[1]. He studied law and sculpture in Mexico City from 1927 to 1928, before he moved to the United States in 1929, where he visited the University of Arizona. In 1930 he started painting.[2] Together with other notable painters, he painted the mural "La America Tropical" at the Chouinard School of Art in Los Angeles in 1932. Together with Alfaro Siqueiros he painted "Retrato de la Burguesia" and "La Marcha de la Humanidad". In 1944 he finished two sculptures for Alfaro Siqueiros' mural "Cuauhtémoc contra el Mito".[3].
Arenal was the first secretary of the Liga de Escritores y Artistas Revolucionarios, and was founding member of the Taller de Gráfica Popular in 1937.[4].
