Chicano Art
Chicano Art developed in the 1960s during the political eruption of the civil rights movements in the United States. Produced from the struggle for economic and social equality, Chicano Art represents the artistic expression of Latino people in the United States facing extreme racial, social and political oppression in their own country.
Not solely politically motivated, Chicano Art explores identity, humor, religion and individual expression through a uniquely bicultural perspective.
The collection of Chicano Art at The Mexican Museum represents a wide range of Chicano artists from the 1960s to present, and includes photographs, paintings, lithographs, mixed media installations, altars, and graphic arts.
The Museum also holds a unique collection of Museum-commissioned works created by artists such as Carmen Lomas Garza, Gronk, Luis Jimenez, Rupert García, and Patssi Valdez.
