Jeronimo Lozano
Retablo
(Huamunga, Peru, 1950 - 2021, Clearfield, Pennsylvania)
Born in the high Andes in the Ayacucho province of Peru, Lozano was of the Quechua (Inca) people, speaking the native language. Renowned in Peru for his native folk art called Retablo, he was one of only three masters in the art. He came to the United States in 1995 and received national acclaim, winning the National Endowment for the Arts award in Washington, D.C. for his Retablo art, along with many other honors and awards where he settled in the state of Utah. His assemblages reflected his Andean heritage blended with his membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In an online magazine covering the intersection between the art world and the faith of the Latter-day Saints, Lozano said, “I view myself as a cultural ambassador of the culture of my native Peru and through my retablos I wish to preserve the myths of the ancient Inca and document the traditional life of the Andean people.” Jeronimo Lozano died in October 2021 of pulmonary fibrosis.
