About Francisco Goitia
- Francisco Bollaín y Goitia García (4 October 1882 – 26 March 1960) was a Mexican artist.
- Goitia was a reclusive and complicated man, whose life and work was heavily influenced by the Mexican Revolution.
- He was of the Mexican muralism generation but did not share its politics.
- Goitia worked with the Francisco Villa army, creating works depicting the violence of that time and afterwards, worked with anthropologist Manuel Gamio depicting indigenous history and culture.
- He lived most of the last half of his life simply in then-rural Xochimilco, away from the cultural and intellectual life of Mexico City, dying there in his house.
- He did not leave behind a large collection of work, but a number of his paintings are notable in their own right such as Tata Jesucristo.
- His work has been recognized with a film biography and a museum in Zacatecas named after him.
