Three years ago, the author of this blog, Juan Diego Caballero, wrote his last entry. Since then, all of us who cared for him and admired his teaching work have returned from time to time, almost automatically, to those final words. Always the Mexican muralism and a litany of comments from followers longing for his return. Here, we thank you for your interest and affection.
Over time, for his family, wandering through the blog has become a nostalgic trip to the past, a magical journey that somehow allowed us to converse with him again. Discovering an entry we hadn’t read or stumbling upon a funny comment or clarification from a student has been a solace. It is essential to remember that this blog began as a tool to bring the History of Art closer to his students, for whom he never ceased to work. We, his children, were also his pupils in this and many other subjects of life. “You are my genes walking,” he used to say. And how true that was.
This summer marks three years since he left us. During this time, we have come to realize the unwavering presence of those genes. In me, the eldest, beats his love for writing and his sensitivity; in Gema, his courage, decision-making skills, and intuition. But it is in Diego, the youngest, that this genetic legacy continually repeats itself. From a very young age, he showed interest in history, art, and culture… Like our father, Diego adopted uncertainty as his guiding principle and the question “Why?” as a pact to understand the world. Listening to them debate was a delight.
Diego studied History, and we know well that our father took pride in his son following in his footsteps, even though he never asked him to. It is time for these genes to keep walking and for this blog to leap over the Mexican wall to explore other places, cultures, and artistic movements. Today, Diego picks up the mantle from our father, as we know he would have wanted, to ensure Enseñ-arte continues with the respect it deserves, celebrating the memory, life, and educational commitment of its original author, through the discerning eyes of his youngest son.
Go ahead, Diego, we are waiting for you.
