A generously illustrated account of the life and work of the
prominent Chicano artist, educator, and activist Jose Montoya
(1932-2013) was a leading figure in bilingual and bicultural
expression drawn from barrio life as a defining feature of U.S.
culture. As an artist, poet, and musician, he produced iconic works
depicting pachuco and pachuca culture based on his own experiences
as a youth after World War II. These include the poem "El Louie" as
well as thousands of political posters and masterful sketches.
Montoya cofounded the art collective Royal Chicano Air Force and
helped organize for the United Farm Workers. An influential
educator, he established the Barrio Art Program in the early 1970s,
and taught at California State University, Sacramento. Author Ella
Maria Diaz examines a remarkable career that traversed decades,
languages, media, and genres. This book is illustrated with
reproductions of Montoya's art from rarely seen archival slides and
documents, as well as from private collections and the Montoya
estate. Through oral histories and archival research, Diaz proposes
a new model for the study of Latina/o/x artists who reject the
boundaries between visual art, poetry, music, education, and
community activism. This book is distributed for the Chicano
Studies Research Center at UCLA.
