BIOGRAPHY: Feliciano Bejar Ruiz was a Mexican artist and artisan, best known for a style of sculpture called "magiscopios" which involved various materials along with crystals and lenses to play with light or create distorted visions.Bejar was born in rural central Mexico and was completely self-taught as an artist. He was creative as a young child, drawing and creating his first sculpture like pieces from papier-mache. His art career began in New York, where he had travelled and lived for a time in Hell's Kitchen.Bejar drew the attention of Arthur Ewart and Frances Coleman, with the latter helping him have his first exhibition and whose husband helped sponsor his time in Europe. The magiscopes arose from an intense interest in light and the sun, which began when he saw a boy in Italy playing with reflections of the sun in puddles. Images of the sun appeared in his painting and sculpture, developing into the use of crystals and lenses.In his later life, Bejar withdrew from the art world for about sixteen years, disillusioned with it and retreating to his ranch in the State of Mexico. He returned in 1998, with a retrospective of his work in Mexico City and continued to show his work until shortly before his death.

Estimado $ 60,000-90,000 FELICIANO BÉJAR (Michoacán, 1920 - Ciudad de México, 2007) Custodia / Magiscopio Firmada y fechada 79 Escultura en acero y cristal tallado Con documento del Museo de Arte Popular, especificando la publicación de la obra en el catálogo de la exposición "Vidrio mexicano. El misterio de la luz" en la cual participó. Agradecemos a Martín Feliciano Béjar y a Martin Foley por la verificación de autenticidad de esta obra, abril del 2018. Publicada en: Vidrio mexicano. El misterio de la luz. México. Museo de Arte Popular, CONACULTA, 2007. Incluye ejemplar. Exhibida en: "Vidrio mexicano. El misterio de la luz", muestra presentada en el Museo de Arte Popular de la Ciudad de México, de junio a septiembre de 2007. Su formación fue autodidacta; desde que tenía 15 años Béjar comenzó a experimentar con los materiales que hallaba a su paso. Fue entonces que conoció a José Clemente Orozco, quien trabajaba en una biblioteca de Jiquilpan y de quien aprendió que el arte debía estar al servicio de la sociedad y fue por eso que durante su vida pugnó por "democratizar la belleza por medio del arte". En un principio se dedicó a recorrer mundo. En 1948 presentó su primera exposición en Ward Eggleston Galleries en Nueva York. Continuó su formación en los museos de París y recorrió Europa en bicicleta. En 1956, mientras vivía en París, un nuevo elemento asomó con insistencia en su obra: las luces a manera de pequeños soles. Su biógrafo, Martin Foley, lo bautizó como "el recolector de soles". Fue en México donde se involucró en la construcción de instrumentos 'poblados de luz". Los soles escaparon de sus lienzos y maderas para convertirse en los ojos de sus nuevas esculturas. Así nacieron las obras bautizadas por Jorge Hernández Campos como magiscopios: instrumentos de acero reciclado con lentes encapsulados. La llegada de estas creaciones al Palacio de Bellas Artes, en 1966, constituyó la apertura a toda una generación de escultores vanguardistas, y significó la ruptura de moldes tradicionales. Impuso una nueva forma de entender el arte como un juego, una actividad lúdica en esencia. Fuente consultada: MATEOS, Mónica et ál.
