Untitled
title Untitleddescription Graphite on paper, 25 in. x 31.25 in. A priest choking a demon while holding a baseball bat. A child prays at the priest's feet. 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 Religion Borderlands Frontera Demons Baseball bats Children Graphite pencils Drawings Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
Viejo Paso del Norte
title Viejo Paso del Nortedescription Serigraph on paper, 22.5 in. x 20.25 in. Two Spanish men, one in noble clothing and the other in church clothing, standing in front of a Spanish mission. José Cisneros (1910-2009) has been described as a leading historical illustrator of the Southwest. While he was a painter, wood carver, writer and muralist, his primary focus was recording the history of the Southwest border region through his illustrations. Born in Villa Ocampo, Mexico, Cisneros eventually moved to Juarez with his family in 1925 where he obtained a school passport to attend the Lydia Patterson Institute in El Paso, Texas. While enrolled in a painting class, he discovered during one of the lessons that he was color blind. Two years later, he was forced to quit school to help financially support his family. He procured a position at El Paso’s White House Department Store, where he designed displays and began to draw on Poster Board. He introduced himself to artist Tom Lea, which led to an invitation for Cisneros to exhibit his work at the El Paso Public Library in 1938. His work was so popular that his exhibit was extended for two weeks, and he was eventually exhibited in Juarez. Later, he was invited to illustrate many books and printing projects through a long-term collaboration with Carl Hertzog, the famous typographer, book designer, and publisher. During this time, he designed the coat of arms for the city of Juarez, and eventually the seal for The University of Texas at El Paso. Among his many honors are the Americanism Award given to him by the Daughters of the American Revolution; he was knighted by Pope John Paul II in 1990, and he was given the Order of Civil Merit by King Juan Carlos I of Spain in 1991. In 2001, he received the National Humanities Medal presented by President George W. Bush. José Cisneros remained a lifelong resident of El Paso, Texas until his death on November 14, 2009.artist/creator Cisneros, Josésubject Borderlands Frontera Missions Religion Church Screen prints Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
