César Moro was a Peruvian painter and poet whose surrealist works combined dreamlike figuration with bold color and gestural mark-making. Born Alfredo Quíspez Asín in Lima, he spent formative years in Europe before returning to Peru, where he became a central figure in the introduction of surrealism to Latin American modernism. His practice bridged visual art and literature, with painting and verse equally integral to his artistic identity.
