He studied for three years at the , as well as at the Art Institute of Chicago, and with Leon Makielski. Lopez was married to the sculptor and medical illustrator Rhoda LaBlanc Lopez. He was remembered by his son as a devoted family man yet “an obsessed painter who spent most every day either teaching or working on his art. His health was never great, and he was nearly deaf for much of his adult life.” He taught art at the University of Michigan from 1945 until his death in 1953. He was remembered for often telling his students, “I can teach you to draw, but I cannot teach you to be an artist.” (en)
