Francisco Delgado was born on November 3, 1974, in Ciudad Juárez, and grew up in El Paso’s Segundo Barrio. He received his Master of Fine Arts from the Yale School of Art.

Untitled
title Untitleddescription Intaglio on paper, 24 in. x 18 in. The New Immigration: Ten Etchings Portfolio by Self Help Graphics, Los Angeles, CA and Galería Sin Fronteras, Austin, TX. Man's face partially hidden by striped vertical lines. The lines could be part of a USA flag with the barbs of barbed wire as stars. In 1988, Sister Karen Boccalero, founder of Self Help Graphics in Los Angeles, and Dr. Gilberto Cárdenas, founder of Galería Sin Fronteras in Austin, co-organized this portfolio of ten etchings by five artists. The prints, sponsored by Self Help Graphics and co-published by Galería Sin Fronteras, were produced at Taller Romero in Mexico City by printer Renato Esquivel Romero. According to Cárdenas, this series pays “homage to the perseverance and dignity of the new Latino immigrants as they struggle with the transition into American society.” He also said that they are a reminder of “the role that immigration plays in enriching the economic vitality of our society and the contributions that the immigrants and their children will have in making American society a better community for tomorrow—a community ‘sin fronteras.’” Each of the five selected artists presented a distinctive perspective on politics, immigration, and the border.artist/creator Montoya, Malaquíassubject Banderas Flags Men Eyes Immigration Immigrants Intaglio Prints Allegory Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -

Lechuga Lucha
title Lechuga Luchadescription Lithograph over color serigraph on tan woven paper, 30 in. x 22.5 in. Headless horseman holding a flaming head of lettuce and looming over his boss who cowering a lettuce field. Image is joined with the text, "Lechuga Lucha!" "Let us Fight!" In this print, a headless rider, wearing a red poncho emblazoned with the UFW (United Farm Workers) logo, encourages migrant farm workers to fight for their labor rights, as a frightened grower cries out, “Joaquin!” The artist references I Am Joaquin, or Yo soy Joaquin, composed by Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzales in 1967, a famous epic poem associated with the Chicano Movement. In the poem, Joaquin (the narrator) speaks of the struggles that the Chicano people have endured to gain economic justice and equal rights in the U.S., as well as to find an identity of being part of a unique Chicano culture. He promises that his culture will survive, if all Chicano people unify and demand social justice. The poet Gonzales outlines 2000 years of Mexican and Chicano history; he traces both his ancestry to the Spanish conquistadors and the Aztecs they "conquered.” He also identifies with revolutionary figures of Mexican history, such as Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, Benito Juárez, Pancho Villa, and Joaquin Murrieta who was a legendary Californian vaquero and gold miner known for seeking retribution against the Anglo-Americans invaders who hanged his brother and killed his wife. Joaquin Murrieta eventually was captured by a bounty hunter and beheaded. Known as the “Robin Hood of the West,” Murrieta later inspired the creation of the Cisco Kid and Zorro. In 1969, the poem was adapted into a short film by Luis Valdez, a leading figure in Chicano theater and film.artist/creator García, Eric J.subject Borderlands Frontera Lettuce Fighting United Farm Workers (UFW) Lithographs Screen prints Prints Allegory Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
