Biography

Dr. Alvar Carrillo Gil, painter, collector and patron of the arts was born in 1899 in Opichin (Yucatan) Mexico. Carrillo Gil was motivated to begin collecting art by his fascination with the work of Jose Clemente Orozco (1883-1949). He is credited with filling the void left by the Mexican government and other private collectors in stemming the loss of Orozco's work to collectors in the United States.
