This essay by Margarita Nieto details the history of Chicano art in Los Angeles and broader California. Nieto focuses on the artworks and activism of sixteen prominent artists, including Carlos Almaraz, Gronk, Patssi Valdez, Luis Jimenez, and others. Accompanying an exhibition of these artists’ works, the document provides information on the beginnings of the Chicano-Latino art movement in Los Angeles, underscoring the critical link between art and society motivating much Chicano cultural production. Nieto discusses the formation of artist organizations, collectives, and publications as part of the anti-establishment movement at work, highlighting several such groups, including Mechicanoand Self-Help Graphics. The author considers the development of muralism as a key medium for communication between Chicano artists and their audiences, and looks at the various connections between artist collectives, namely ASCO, Los Four, and the East Los Streetscrapers, and the mural movement. Nieto briefly details parallel developments in Chicano artistic communities in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, and San Diego-Tijuana, and highlights Chicano artists’ relationships to the border, both in its physical form and as aesthetic and cultural concept. The text concludes with a consideration of later developments in Chicano-Latino art, focusing on the achievements and challenges of artists working after the height of the Chicano movement, in the 1980s and beyond.
