Las Peleoneras
title Las Peleonerasdescription Color lithograph on paper, 32.5 in. x 39.5 in. Two women fighting and pulling each others' hair outside of a dance club while a group of people look on. Chicana artist and illustrator Carmen Lomas Garza created a series of artworks in which she visually shares memories of growing up in Kingsville, Texas. Here, she presents two women fighting in the center of this print. We have no idea why the two rivals are brawling in front of the El Rio bar. On either side of the two women, onlookers watch the fight. Looking through the port windows of the front door, a man and woman observe the combatants with curiosity. Symbolizing anger and treachery, a small black dog barks at the women, while a full moon floats in the dark sky. The artist stimulates our imagination, so that we can complete our own version of her story. A narrative artist, Carmen Lomas Garza is a skillful storyteller who specializes in relating to her Mexican American heritage. Carmen Lomas Garza is an award-winning artist-educator, who was born in Kingsville, Texas in 1948. She attended Texas A & I University (renamed Texas A & M University, Kingsville), Juarez-Lincoln/Antioch Graduate School, and San Francisco State University. The artist is known for her use of papel picado in large ofrendas. She describes her life as an artist: “At the age of thirteen, I decided to become a visual artist and pursue every opportunity to advance my knowledge of art in institutions of higher education. The Chicano Movement of the late 1960s inspired the dedication of my creativity to the depiction of special and everyday events in the lives of Mexican Americans based on my memories and experiences in South Texas. I saw the need to create images that would elicit recognition and appreciation among Mexican Americans, both adults and children, while at the same time serve as a source of education for others not familiar with our culture. It has been my objective since 1969 to make paintings, prints, installations for Day of the Dead, and paper and metal cutouts that instill pride in our history and culture in American society.”artist/creator Garza, Carmen Lomassubject Borderlands Frontera Fighting Bars (Drinking establishments) Color lithographs Lithographs Prints Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
