Before the Migration
title Before the Migrationdescription Woodcut on paper, 30 in. x 22.5 in. Desert Triangle Print Carpeta. "January 15th, 1944. My grandparents in front of La Catedral, in Mexico City, the four-hundred-year-old church built from the stones of the Aztec’s Templo Mayor. My father, only four years old at the time, and his brother, my namesake, an infant. They moved to Tucson, Arizona from Puebla in a mining truck that my grandfather later delivered to the Pima Copper Mines. With 1500 miles ahead of them, I can only imagine what an arduous task that was. I don’t know for sure because all four of these family members have passed on, but I wonder if they had visited La Catedral to say goodbye and pray for a safe journey. Besides wanting the reminder of where my family came from, I wanted to get to know them through this [print]: I wanted to feel how they felt that day, to feel the sun on their faces, the awe from the sheer grandeur of architecture, and maybe even the warmth of their hearts from the presence of God. Through the carving process, the image also revealed their brewing excitement, and hope for a better future. They had to have known that their diligence would add prosperity to future generations. It makes me grateful for their hard work and perseverance to arrive in America." — Ruben Urrea Morenoartist/creator Urrea Moreno, Rubensubject Borderlands Frontera Immigration Immigrants Families Woodcuts Prints Portraits Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
Bici Rider #1 of Saipan
title Bici Rider #1 of Saipandescription Photography print on paper, 20 in. x 24.5 in. Taller 75 Grados, Mexico City, MX. Desert Triangle Print Carpeta. "This is my Desert Triangle serigraph, which originated with the crisp click of my camera’s shutter, while covering a grassroots rally in May 2014 to save the historic Lincoln Center in El Paso, Texas, from the destructive swing of a wrecking ball for new freeway construction. The still photograph has been featured in several art exhibitions in the photography form. My friend, Karl Whiataker, asked to use the image for a print created by maestro Arturo Negrete and his team at Mexico City’s Taller 75 Grados. The print features Luis (Tego), a young Chicano bicycle enthusiast proudly resting on his beautiful blue and chrome, three-wheel custom lowrider bike in Lincoln Park, an urban jungle playground of grass and freeway concrete pillars adorned with colorful art murals with Mexican American themes. The area has become a center of the celebration of Chicano culture, art, and heritage with its Chicano-themed murals and events like the annual Lincoln Park Day, featuring lowriders cars and bicycles, art, music, dance, and attire. It is El Paso’s flavor of San Diego’s famous Chicano Park. Lincoln Center and Park are located under several feeder arteries in the I-10/54 “Spaghetti Bowl'' freeway exchange area, historically known as Concordia and Saipan. Lincoln Center, the last remaining structure from El Paso’s past, was a training camp for Buffalo Soldiers (1860s) and the first non-segregated school, admitting Mexican American and Black students (1915). The summer when I took the photograph of Luis, the issue of Lincoln Center’s future had reached a fevered pitch, involving the Texas Department of Transportation, El Paso City Council, multiple car clubs, and several grassroots neighborhood groups, like Save Lincoln Center and Lincoln Park Conservation Committee. El Paso is my home base to wander the US/Mexico border. My street photography art tends to focus on visually documenting the things—dimples and blemishes—that make life along “la frontera” so colorful and unique. The debate on the future of Lincoln Center is still ongoing." — Federico Villalbaartist/creator Villalba, Federicosubject Borderlands Frontera Texas--El Paso Bicycles Portraits Photographs Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
Medusa
title Medusadescription Serigraph on paper, 30 in. x 22 in. Taller 75 Grados, Mexico City, MX. Desert Triangle Print Carpeta. "I am a 'Tapatia de Corazón' born in Guadalajara, Jalisco. My draftsmanship, iconography, artistic forms, color, and style are derived from Mexican neo-figurative expressionism, which I learned from academic training at the Universidad de Guadalajara, Escuela de Artes Plásticas, in combination with the training I received at the University of Arizona where I earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in printmaking. I am a recipient of grants and fellowships: The Lila Wallace Reader’s Digest Award Residency at Claude Monet Museum in Giverny, France; NEA/WESTAF Regional Fellowship for Visual Artists; and Great Walls Unlimited, SPARC, Venice, CA, among others. Due to my personal history as an immigrant, the recurring theme in my work responds to and communicates relevant political and personal impressions, such as the right for immigrants to have a path to American citizenship. My work is an exploration of immigration/migration and its effects on culture, family, the loss of los ausentes (the ones who left their homelands and are considered missing in their physical absence, but not in their psychological presence), and the individual in these times of racism. I also represent with images the timeless human phenomena of deconstructing female stereotypes, echoing themes of divided families, struggle, strength, and success. I create from the perspective of a woman artist born “al otro lado” that has now lived and worked in the border region of Tucson, Arizona for over two decades." — Christina Cárdenasartist/creator Cárdenas, Christinasubject Portraits Borderlands Frontera Mexico--Jalisco Immigration Immigrants Medusa (Greek mythology) Screen prints Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
César Chávez
title César Chávezdescription Lithograph on paper, 31 in. x 22.5 in. Chicano artist Luis Jiménez created a portrait of famous Chicano activist César Estrada Chávez (1927 – 1993), an iconic figure in the American civil rights movement. Jiménez captured Chávez’s humble nature, his gritty determination, and his silent power; his lips parted, he appears to be speaking directly to the viewer. Chávez organized protest marches to demand labor rights for Mexican and Chicano migrant farm workers. Along with Dolores Huerta, he organized the United Farm Workers (UFW) in 1962, the first Mexican American labor group to be recognized by the AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations). To garner support from American consumers, Chávez mounted a nation-wide boycott of iceberg lettuce and grapes. A pacifist inspired by Gandhi, Chávez practiced nonviolent resistance in his protests, and he fasted to gain public sympathy for the UFW and its fight for labor rights. His protests and speeches inflamed growers, and he received countless death threats. His constant fasting vigils may have weakened his health, and he died of natural causes. Tens of thousands of mourners attended his funeral, where he was called an American hero-martyr. César Chávez Day (March 31, his birthday) is a U.S. federal commemorative holiday, as proclaimed by President Barack Obama in 2014. 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 Chávez, César, 1927-1993 Borderlands Frontera Activism Politics in art Agriculture United Farm Workers (UFW) Lithographs Prints Portraits Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
Carnal
title Carnaldescription Oil on wood panel, 48 in. x 36 in. A painting of a pachuco in a suit with arrows in his chest and ropes around his arms. El Paso artist Francisco Delgado references the Christian saint and martyr St. Sebastian (AD 256 – 288) who was bound to a tree or post and shot with arrows by Roman soldiers after he refused to deny his faith, as ordered by Emperor Diocletian. Rescued and healed by St. Irene, St. Sebastian later was clubbed to death by the Romans. Inspired by Renaissance paintings honoring this saint, Delgado pays homage to Mexican and Chicano hipsters, pachucos, who were attacked by U.S. servicemen and arrested during the Zoot Suit Riots in Los Angeles, June 3 – 8, 1943. The history of the zoot suit is complex. Pachucos wore zoot suits prior to and during World War II, but they did not invent them, nor did they wear them exclusively. Zoot suits were first worn by African American jazz musicians that toured around the country. Jazz aficionados popularized them by wearing them to dances, and they grew widespread from there. In Los Angeles, they were worn by African Americans, Mexican Americans, Japanese Americans, and ethnic whites including Italian Americans and Jewish Americans, among others. 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 Portraits Borderlands Frontera Pachucos Saints Saints in art Martyrs Zoot suits Oil Paintings Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
El Pantalón Rosa
title El Pantalón Rosadescription Color lithograph on paper, 43.5 in. x 30.75 in. A man standing in front of a colored wood background. César A. Martínez states, "Originally, I had done a linoleum and woodblock print of El Pantalón Rosa. When I decided to do a lithograph of the same subject, I utilized the original woodblock with the wood texture by transferring the texture to a metal lithographic plate. Same for the shirt, but from another original plate. Everything else, in the different colors was drawn on metal lithographic plates, and then it was printed from the metal lithographic plates on a lithographic press. The date is 1992 and the printer was Peter Webber of Austin, Texas." César A. Martínez was born in Laredo Texas, in 1944, and currently lives in San Antonio, Texas. He was raised by his mother and her family in Laredo, because his father died when he was less than one year old. While studying art at Texas A&I College, and later Texas A&I University (renamed Texas A & M University, Kingsville), he became marginally involved in the Chicano Movement for civil rights. Eventually, he became an historical figure in the Chicano art movement. His colorful portraits represent real people from his life, many of them based on photographs. According to Martínez, “I’ve never really done art that I would say is political. But I think the kind of art that becomes politicized, as in my case and in many of my contemporaries, is simply because it had a Chicano perspective or Chicano imagery. The Chicano Movement was a renaissance in thinking about us and in creating those institutions and images and writings that reflected who we are. They were non-existent at that time, we had nothing to relate to, so we had to make it up as we went along. And that was the road to a deeper understanding of who we are."artist/creator Martinez, César A.subject Portraits Borderlands Frontera Cholos Clothing and dress Fashion Style Color lithographs Lithographs Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -

Unidos Todos/Pueblo como Pueblo
title Unidos Todos/Pueblo como Pueblodescription Serigraph on paper, 28 in. x 22 in. Malaquías Montoya was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1938, and he became one of the best-known artist-activists of the Chicano Movement (El Movimiento). He was raised by a single mother in a family of migrant workers who worked in the fields of central California. He joined the U.S. Marine Corps and later attended The University of California at Berkeley, through the G.I. Bill. Montoya has taught at a number of universities, and he held a professorship at The University of California, Davis since 1989. He teaches both in the Department of Art, and the Department of Chicanx Studies. A painter and prolific silk screen artist, Montoya is famous for making artworks that support the United Farm Workers (UFW) and the struggle for labor rights to protect migrant farm workers. In 1968, Montoya founded the Mexican American Liberation Art Front in Sacramento. Later, in 1970, he joined his brother José and other artists to form the Royal Chicano Air Force. Members painted murals addressing social justice, made banners and props for UFW marches, led poetry circles, and operated a bookstore. Montoya combined political protest with Chicano art, developing a program of cultural consciousness and political resistance in the Chicano pueblo. Through his art, activism, and teaching, Montoya calls for equal opportunity in education and employment for Chicanos, and he encourages them to embrace their unique ethnic identity.artist/creator Montoya, Malaquíassubject Borderlands Frontera Portraits Screen prints Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -

Estéban Jordan
title Estéban Jordandescription Color lithograph on paper, 30.25 in. x 22.25 in. In his print, Luis Jiménez paid tribute to Estéban “Steve” Jordan (1939-2010), the celebrated accordionist who played conjunto, Tejano, jazz, rock, and blues music. Jiménez used a dynamic overhead perspective to emphasize the energy that Jordan generated on stage when making music. In Jiménez’s portrait, viewers see the musical notes flowing from Jordan’s accordion, and can almost hear his trademark sound. A man with an eye patch playing the accordion. Born near the Mexico – U.S. border in Elsa, Texas to migrant farm workers, he was partially blinded as an infant and unable to work in the fields. Instead, Jordan decided to be a musician after hearing conjunto musician Valerio Longoria playing for the migrant farm workers in their camps. Because he wore a patch over his bad eye, he was called “El Parche.” A talented musician, he played 35 different instruments. Jordan experimented with electronic devices to enhance his sound, and he was nicknamed the “Jimi Hendrix of the accordion.” He received numerous awards and provided music for Hollywood movies.artist/creator Jiménez, Luissubject Music Portraits Lithographs Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -

Starving
title Starvingdescription Watercolor and ink on paper, 8 in. x 9 in. Portrait of a male profile. "My formal art studies began at the Rufino Tamayo Plastic Arts Workshop in Oaxaca City while I was an assistant and student of the Lithography studio. In 2006, I enrolled to complete my bachelor’s degree in visual arts at La Escuela de Bellas Artes/Fine Arts School of Oaxaca where I studied under the guidance of prolific artists Shinzaburo Takeda and Raul Herrera. During this time, I completed my education by taking workshops with artists such as Isis Rodriguez, Marietta Bernstorff, Inma Coll and Elvia Esparza. I was also an assistant in the print studios of Artist Demian Flores (Taller Grafica Actual) and Alejandro Santiago (Taller la Huella). In 2010 I moved to Riverside, California and started getting involved in printmaking projects with a social justice and educational awareness in communities of color throughout California. In 2015, I opened my printmaking studio by collaboration with “The Desert Triangle Print Carpeta” located provisionally in Riverside. In 2017, I was commissioned by the Wignall Contemporary Art Museum to elaborate a permanent mural, which is located in Southern California. My artwork has been exhibited in different group shows between Mexico and the U.S. in public and private institutions as well individually: Rufino Tamayo Workshop (Mx); Casa de la Ciudad Oaxaca (Mx); Museo de los Pintores Oaxaqueños (Mx); Arte Cocodrilo (Mx); Plan B (Mx); Riverside Art Museum (US); Mission Cultural Center (San Francisco, CA), Museum of Art El Paso (US); The Mexic-Arte Museum (US); Comalito Collective (US); College of the Canyons (US)." — Pavel Acevedoartist/creator Acevedo, Pavelsubject Portraits Borderlands Frontera Watercolors and ink Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
Q-Vo-Way
title Q-Vo-Waydescription Serigraph on paper, 22 in. x 30 in. Coronado Studios, Austin, TX. Serie Project V. "The title of the work Q-Vo-Way is a play on words from the familiar Chicano slang greeting 'Q vo wey,' or 'Q vo guey,' meaning 'what’s up, buddy' or simply 'what’s happening.' This image deals directly from daily experiences with the people I know, individuals who remind me of friends and people I grew up with. It is not a crusade to change lives or lifestyles but a record of experiences, ideas and feelings about a subculture that has endured in the Mexican American life since the Second World War. This lifestyle has been passed from generation to generation. It has survived wars, prisons, and various other elements. My portrayal of these individuals and their lifestyle is neither positive nor negative. My interpretation is subjective and with the viewers, interpretations depended on his or her experience with this lifestyle." — Gaspar Enriquezartist/creator Enriquez, Gasparsubject Identity Heritage Portraits Borderlands Frontera Screen prints Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
