Beatriz de la Fuente

Beatriz Ramírez de la Fuente (6 February 1929, in Mexico City – 20 June 2005, in Mexico City) was a Mexican art historian and academic, notable for her work on pre-Columbian art, especially Olmec and pre-Columbian murals.

Her research on Mexican pre-Columbian art contributed to changing the way pre-Columbian cultures were studied in the United States and the way contemporary art is generally conceived.

She dedicated herself to making the indigenous art of ancient Mexico understandable, as well as protecting its cultural heritage. Provided by Wikipedia
