Spanish artist (1905–1956)
Helios Gómez Rodríguez (1905–1956) was a Spanish painter, anarchist communist activist and writer. Born into a working class Calé family, he worked as a painter for the Spanish anarchist movement from an early age. His involvement in the movement forced him to flee Spain, and during his time in Europe he developed his artistic influences and was alerted to the rise of fascism.
