José Alberto Gironella Ojeda (Mexico City, September 26, 1929; id., August 2, 1999) was a Mexican plastic artist, considered one of the exponents of La Ruptura.1
He was the son of Alberto Gironella Llobet, originally from Barcelona, Spain, and Alicia Ojeda Ávila, originally from Mérida, Yucatán (Mexico). He began writing poetry from his youth, but later abandoned his studies of Hispanic literature and dedicated himself to painting. His first exhibition was held in 1952, and throughout his life his work was exhibited in museums and galleries in Germany, Argentina, Brazil, the United States, Spain, France, Japan, Sweden and Switzerland. In Mexico, the Palace of Fine Arts, and the Museums of Modern Art, National Art, Carrillo Gil and Rufino Tamayo were home to his works. He also illustrated the book Terra Nostra, by Carlos Fuentes. In 1959 he won the first prize of the Mediterranean Art Union at the Youth Biennial (Paris, France), as well as the first prize of the VI Biennial of Sao Paulo, Brazil. It is cited by Julio Cortázar, in his work Around the Day in Eighty Worlds.
