Antropofagio: Radio Flyer
title Antropofagio: Radio Flyerdescription Oil on canvas, 60 in. x 72.5 in. A shirtless boy riding his tricycle through rock and cactus in what looks like a back alley, and behind him lays an upside-down plastic pool. Using Renaissance perspective and chiaroscuro, Francisco Delgado’s painting is a visual metaphor for his life living and working in the borderland of El Paso. Despite the rocks and cacti obstructing his passage, a young man wearing only shorts and Nike shoes plows his Radio Flyer tricycle forward. Oddly, the tricycle rider is headless, and his face is on his stomach. According to the artist, his imagery was inspired by the Brazilian poet Oswald de Andrade’s 1928 Manifesto Antropófago (Anthropophagist Manifesto). Its argument is that colonized countries, such as Brazil, should ingest the culture of the colonizer and digest it in its own way. Delgado refers to this as “cultural cannibalism” to explain how “Chicanos ingest American culture, and we make it our own.” The artist combines this cannibal concept with the Blemmyae, headless human figures with faces on their torsos, as found in Greek and Roman mythology and medieval art. 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 Cannibalism Consumerism Consumption (Economics) in art Nike Tricycles Texas--El Paso Oil Paintings Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -

Lechuga Lucha
title Lechuga Luchadescription Lithograph over color serigraph on tan woven paper, 30 in. x 22.5 in. Headless horseman holding a flaming head of lettuce and looming over his boss who cowering a lettuce field. Image is joined with the text, "Lechuga Lucha!" "Let us Fight!" In this print, a headless rider, wearing a red poncho emblazoned with the UFW (United Farm Workers) logo, encourages migrant farm workers to fight for their labor rights, as a frightened grower cries out, “Joaquin!” The artist references I Am Joaquin, or Yo soy Joaquin, composed by Rodolfo "Corky" Gonzales in 1967, a famous epic poem associated with the Chicano Movement. In the poem, Joaquin (the narrator) speaks of the struggles that the Chicano people have endured to gain economic justice and equal rights in the U.S., as well as to find an identity of being part of a unique Chicano culture. He promises that his culture will survive, if all Chicano people unify and demand social justice. The poet Gonzales outlines 2000 years of Mexican and Chicano history; he traces both his ancestry to the Spanish conquistadors and the Aztecs they "conquered.” He also identifies with revolutionary figures of Mexican history, such as Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, Benito Juárez, Pancho Villa, and Joaquin Murrieta who was a legendary Californian vaquero and gold miner known for seeking retribution against the Anglo-Americans invaders who hanged his brother and killed his wife. Joaquin Murrieta eventually was captured by a bounty hunter and beheaded. Known as the “Robin Hood of the West,” Murrieta later inspired the creation of the Cisco Kid and Zorro. In 1969, the poem was adapted into a short film by Luis Valdez, a leading figure in Chicano theater and film.artist/creator García, Eric J.subject Borderlands Frontera Lettuce Fighting United Farm Workers (UFW) Lithographs Screen prints Prints Allegory Life and Experiences in the U.S./Mexico Borderlands (exhibition)contributor Mexic-Arte Museum (MAM) -
