José Jesús Francisco Zúñiga ChavarrÃÂa (December 27, 1912 ââ¬â August 9, 1998) was a Costa Rican-born Mexican artist, known both for his painting and his sculpture.
Journalist Fernando González Gortázar lists Zúñiga as one of the 100 most notable Mexicans of the 20th century, while the Encyclopædia Britannica calls him "perhaps the best sculptor" of the Mexican political modern style.
