Freeway Wars
title Freeway Warsdescription Serigraph on paper, 39.75 in. x 46 in. Chicano artist Frank Romero has explored numerous subjects in his art, especially the car culture of Los Angeles. He portrays classic cars, trucks, lowriders, and muscle cars. Romero is also known for depicting car crashes on freeways and shootings from cars, as seen in this print. Rivals shoot at each other from their cars, while speeding recklessly around a curve in the freeway. Frank Romero was born in 1941 in East Los Angeles, California; he attended Otis College of Art and California State University. Romero began painting when he was five years old. During the height of the Chicano Movement for civil rights in the early 1970s, Romero identified himself as a Chicano. He began working with three other Chicano artists in what was known as Los Four. The art collective used murals, graffiti, and street theater to protest America’s military involvement in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. His most famous artwork, The Death of Rubén Salazar (1986), documents the killing of Chicano journalist Rubén Salazar. He was fatally struck by a canister of tear gas shot into the Silver Dollar Bar on August 29, 1970, by LA County Sheriffs after a rally against the Vietnam War. “I grew up in East Los Angeles, and we always had problems and feared the sheriff’s department because their policy was to come down hard on minorities,” says Romero. Commenting on his use of bright, bold colors in his art, “The part of me that’s Mexican or Latino, I think of Mexicans, like hot vibrant colors. You see that in the way the houses are painted in Mexico and East LA.” Romero has been a dedicated member of the Chicano art community of Los Angeles for forty years.artist/creator Romero, Franksubject Borderlands Frontera Guns Violence California--Los Angeles Cars Automobiles Screen prints Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
1936 Ford
title 1936 Forddescription Watercolor on paper, 34 in. x 45 in. "The automobile is an iconic symbol of American culture. Within the Chicano culture, old classic cars are not just instruments for mobility but are re-fashioned machines with sensory and aesthetic appeal and are objects of art. Both my grandfather and my father had a handsome old classic car. My son continues the tradition with his refurbished 1965 Mustang. I saw this 1936 Ford at a restaurant and fell in love with it and asked the owner permission to photograph it. I wondered about what travels this handsome car had taken and what stories it could tell. I wanted the painting to have a feeling of an endless clear sky on a warm summer day, like driving on a never-ending highway. This award-winning painting was on exhibition at the Americana Museum when Juan Sandoval first saw it. He immediately was attracted to it and decided to purchase it because it reminded him of his childhood. He never owned a car, preferring to use his money to purchase art; so he stated that this painting would be his car if anyone ever asked him if he owned one. My painting was reproduced in [the book] Hecho en Tejas. I am inspired by the rich Hispanic culture, and through it I hope to encourage a greater understanding and appreciation of the Hispanic culture. I was born and raised in El Paso, TX. After attending Modesto Junior College and The University of Arizona, I received my BA in Art Education from the University of Texas, El Paso. I have taught art in the public school system for 20 years. My artwork has been published in books, such as Triumph of Our Communities, Contemporary Chicana and Chicano Art, and Art of West Texas Women. My art has been included in numerous major art exhibitions and in public and private collections across the United States. Currently, I am an Artist-in-Residence for Chicano Studies at the University of Texas at El Paso." — Maria Almeida Natividadartist/creator Natividad, Maria Almediasubject Cars Automobiles Borderlands Frontera Ford automobile Desert Watercolors Paintings Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
Reflejo del Chuco
title Reflejo del Chucodescription Color lithograph on paper, 27.5 in. x 34.5 in. A woman in a green dress next to an orange car with a man inside, and a shirtless man walks behind the car on the street. Proud of his Chicano roots, Luis Jiménez (1940 – 2006) was an El Paso, Texas native, best known for his large-scale, brightly colored sculptures immersed in the Chicano iconography of Texas and New Mexico. Jiménez studied art and architecture at The University of Texas in Austin and El Paso. He eventually traveled to Mexico to study the famous Mexican muralists Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco, and was also influenced by regionalists Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood. After completing school, he went to work for his father making neon signs and car decals. In 1966 Jiménez moved to New York and joined the Pop Art scene, making painted fiberglass figurative works inspired by the everyday lives of Latinos living in the Southwest. His work shows his concern for working-class people and those who have suffered from discrimination. Jimenez was and remains respected in Latino communities for his perspective and narrative of the culture of Mexico and the Southwest. His artwork emulates popular Cholo car culture, demonstrated in his use of fiberglass, spray paint, and imagery consisting of Aztec emperors, border crossing, and vaqueros riding wild broncos. His works are in the collections of the Albuquerque Museum, the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., the El Paso Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, among others.artist/creator Jiménez, Luissubject Borderlands Frontera Cars Automobiles Color lithographs Lithographs Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -

American Dream
title American Dreamdescription Color lithograph on paper, 34.5 in. x 24.5 in. A popular sculptor from El Paso, Luis Jiménez personifies the “American Dream” in the automobile, a symbol of material wealth and privilege in American society. The car is a product of the industrialized machine age, which provides a mode of transportation and is a status symbol. Here, a blond-haired woman lies in an embrace with a sports car, a luxury for most Americans. Jiménez references Greek mythology in the legend of Leda and the Swan, the wife of a king seduced by Zeus in the guise of a swan. Jiménez also interprets the story of the Olmec were-jaguar, born from the union of a jaguar and woman. Associated with the Pop Art movement in his early career, the artist produced a fiberglass sculpture of the same name in 1969 to speak to Americans and their intense obsession with their cars. Luis Jiménez was prominently featured in Dr. Jacinto Quirarte’s Mexican American Artists (1973), one of the first books on Mexican American and Chicano art.artist/creator Jiménez, Luissubject Sexuality in art Nudes in art Cars Automobiles Color lithographs Lithographs Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -

American Graffiti: II
title American Graffiti: IIdescription Lithograph on paper, 22 in. x 30 in. La Ceiba Gráfica, Veracruz, MX. An alligator in a car while a gorilla in front of it pours gasoline on a duck next to a pitbull. 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. His Bordeño artworks are informed by the social and cultural struggles inherent to life on the Mexican and United States border. His artwork addresses issues of identity, race, cultural traditions, and government policies that affect migration and immigrants. In his own words, Delgado says, “I am a visual artist with an artistic focus on social issues.” He visually represents the history of his community and creates a dialogue for social change. Often using dark humor or satire to depict his narratives, his artwork highlights the struggles of underrepresented people along the border. A prolific artist, Delgado works in painting, drawing, printmaking, and has also produced community murals. His works have been published in books and exhibited in national and international art exhibitions and community institutions. Francisco currently resides, teaches, and creates artwork in El Paso.artist/creator Delgado, Franciscosubject Borderlands Frontera Cars Automobiles Animals in art Gorilla Texas--El Paso Lithographs Prints Allegory Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
