Alejandro Rangel Hidalgo (Mexican, 1924-2000)
His best known work involved the designing of
Christmas cards for UNICEF and the New York
Graphic Society, which gave him international
recognition. The cards were designed starting in
1963 and achieved record sales for the United
Nations children's agency. One series was titled
Angels of this World featuring child angels in
various ethnic dress, based on work previously
shown in 1958 in Los Angeles. Each angel was
dressed in traditional costume from various
countries accompanied by objects and products
typical of that country. Rangel lived and worked
during his life at his childhood home called
Nogueras Hacienda. When he died, he donated the
property and his large collection of ceramics to
University of Colima, which converted into a
research center, which includes a museum
dedicated to Rangel's works and collections

Alejandro Rangel Hidalgo (Mexican,

in Colima art is the hairless dog, known as the
Techichi or Escuincle. Known to exist in Mexico
for more than 3,000 years, the Xolo (show-low)
can justly claim the distinction as first dog of
the Americas. One reason this animal was
important was that they were believed to guide
humans after death

The museum dedicated to Rangel's works exhibits
also an other aspect of his life, that of a
designer and founder of the Escuela de Artesanías
Comala. In 1975, with federal funding and help
from his brother, Alejandro founded a School of
Artesans in Comala. For six years, he instructed
three hundred local artisans, working in wood,
iron, leather, gold leaf, paper (flowers) paint
and furniture finishes. During this same period
Alejandro helped his wife, Margarita Septién Rul,
found Colimas first school for social workers.
He supported the Institute of Vasco de Quiroga in
part from the sale of his paintings. In their
commitment to social change, the couple believed
in the principle of supporting people to help
themselves.

festivals organized by the state Secretary of
Culture is that named after the artists featuring
workshops in arts and handcrafts. Local artists
are inspired by the Rangelian style to create
handicrafts that can be bought in Comala
