Arturo Moreno (10 May 1909 – 25 June 1993[1]) was a Spanish cartoonist, comics artist and animator.
His family moved to Barcelona when he was eight. Moreno began working as a professional artist in the 1920s,[1] contributing to a satirical magazine, Pulgarcito.[2]
In 1942, Moreno founded Diarmo Films with José María Arola. "Diarmo" is a portmanteau of "Dibujos animados Arola y Moreno" (Spanish for "Arola and Moreno Animations").[3]
In 1948, he emigrated to Caracas, Venezuela and worked for the Venezuelan Ministry of Education on Tricolor, an educational children's magazine, as well as advertising spots.[2][4] Moreno returned to Spain in 1956.
He was known as one of the most prominent Spanish animators.[5]
