Three years ago, the author of this blog, Juan Diego Caballero, wrote his last entry. Since then, all of us who loved him and admired his teaching have returned from time to time, almost instinctively, to those final words. The subject of Mexican muralism and a litany of comments from followers requesting his return constantly lingered. Here, we thank you for your interest and affection.
Over time, visiting the blog for his family became akin to a trip down memory lane, a magical journey through time that allowed us to reconnect with him. Discovering an entry we hadn’t seen before, encountering a humorous comment, or finding a student’s insight added to the experience. It is important to remember that this blog was born as a tool to bring the History of Art closer to his students, for whom he never stopped working. We, his children, were also his pupils in this subject and many others in life. “You are my genes walking,” he used to tell us. How right he was.
This summer will mark three years since his passing. During this time, we have come to realize the undeniable presence of those genes. In me, the eldest, resides his love for writing and sensitivity; in Gema, his bravery, decision-making ability, and intuition. However, it is in Diego, the youngest, that the legacy of those genes is most apparent. From a young age, he showed an interest in history, art, and culture. Like our father, Diego adopted inquiry as his guiding principle, embracing the question “Why?” as a pact to understand the world. Listening to their discussions was a pleasure.
Diego studied History, and we well know that our father took pride in his son following in his footsteps, even though he never explicitly asked for it. It is time for those genes to keep walking, for this blog to leap over the Mexican wall, and for it to take us to other places, cultures, and artistic movements. Starting today, Diego will take up the baton from our father, as we know he would have wanted, to ensure that Enseñ-Arte receives the continuation it deserves—to continue celebrating the memory, life, and educational commitment of its original author, through the expert eyes of his youngest son.
Go ahead, Diego; we await you.
