Sérvulo Gutiérrez Alarcón (* Ica, 1914 – Lima, 1961) was a Peruvian painter.[1]
Life
Sérvulo Gutiérrez was born in Ica, in 1914. His parents were Daniel Gutiérrez Fernández and Lucila Alarcón Valverde; he was the fifth of 15 children.
He was initially self-taught, until he had the opportunity to study in Buenos Aires for eight years with the major Argentine painter, Emilio Pettoruti.[2] Gutiérrez' masterpiece is a depiction of a powerful and crude nude woman, The Andes (1943), representing "the unavoidable South American reality."[2] He was not an intellectual and this may explain how the tenor of his work is that of a "direct, living testimony."[2]
Gutiérrez had a relationship with Doris Gibson, who was a muse to him as well as a lover.[3]Collyns, Dan. "Peru's first 'visionary' editor", BBC, 30 August 2008.

Gibson arrived at the businessman's house with a photographer and, on the pretext of needing daylight for a photograph, took the painting outside and promptly drove away with it. When he later asked for its return, she responded, "I don't want to be nude in your house."[3]
Gutiérrez traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina and then in Europe (particularly Paris, France) and he returned to Peru because of Second World War.
He died in Lima in July 21, 1961.
