Head - Guernica Rattlesnake
title Head - Guernica Rattlesnakedescription Lithograph on paper, 18.5 in. x 24.5 in. Sketches of rattlesnakes with grenade rattle tails. 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 with the famous Mexican muralists Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco, and he 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 Animals in art Snakes Serpents in art Grenades Lithographs Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
Incomprendido
title Incomprendidodescription Lithograph on paper, 22 in. x 30 in. La Ceiba Gráfica, Veracruz, MX. Profile of a pitbull and other dogs in the background surrounded by a rattlesnake. Francisco Delgado was born on November 3, 1974, in Ciudad Juárez, and he 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, exhibited in national and international art exhibitions and community institutions. Francisco currently resides, teaches and creates artwork in El Paso.artist/creator Delgado, Franciscosubject Animals in art Borderlands Frontera Dogs Pit bulls Snakes Serpents in art Relationships Texas--El Paso Lithographs Prints Allegory Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
