The Clique Ajijic was a group of eight artists that existed as a loosely-organized collective in Ajijic for three or four years in the mid-1970s. Many of the photos of Clique Ajijic artists and their paintings were taken by John Frost, the artist-photographer who was a long-time resident of Jocotepec. The photo below (believed to be by Frost) shows several members of the Clique Ajijic, together with family and friends, at the opening of a show in Galería OM in Guadalajara in October 1975.

  1. Adolfo Riestra is “G” in the photo, not “C”.

    • Dear Wendy, Thanks! My apologies for the error; I’ve corrected the post and photograph. I would sack the proof-reader but I’ve just remembered that was me! Best wishes, Tony.
