Biography: Joaquin Quirico Marcelino Clausell Traconis (June 16, 1866 - November 28, 1935) was a Mexican lawyer and political activist, who was predominantly known for his Impressionist paintings of Mexican land and seascapes. He was born and raised in the city of Campeche, where he began drawing as a young student. However, he had to flee the city for Mexico's capital after confronting Campeche's governor in public. Since his death in 1935, Clausell has been recognized as the most prominent Mexican Impressionist artist, even though he did not introduce the style into the country. He existed on the fringes of the Mexican art scene during his lifetime, but his work was noticed and praised by a number of well-known contemporaries. Clausell's work was only occasionally exhibited during his lifetime, and then collectively. After his death, his work has been documented by a number of prominent art critics and historians. To pay homage to Clausell and recognize him as one of the precursor's to modern art in Mexico, a juried event called the Bienal de Pintura Joaquin Clausell (Biennial of the Painter Joaquin Clausell) has been sponsored by the National Council for Culture and Arts, the Ministry of Culture of the State of Campeche and the Autonomous University of Campeche since 1993. The eleventh year of this competition allowed artists to create works between January 2014 and 30 September 2015.
