Marius de Zayas
Mexico (1880—1961)Born in Veracruz, de Zayas started his career as an illustrator for his father’s newspaper. Leaving Mexico for New York for political reasons, he met Alfred Stieglitz and collaborated on Camera Work. Stieglitz exhibited his caricatures on full-scale boards at the 291 gallery. He travelled to Paris, where he met artists such as Picasso and Picabia, who both became his close friends. Back in New York, he launched a new magazine with Stieglitz and Meyer, named 291 after the gallery. In 1915, he opened the Modern Gallery with Meyer. He left for Europe and organised art exhibitions for twenty years before returning to Connecticut.
