shredded by shrapnel, artist Jesse Trevino realized that he wanted
to honor and preserve his family and his cultural heritage through
his artwork. After receiving a Purple Heart and undergoing two
years of rehabilitative therapy and the amputation of his right
forearm-including his painting hand-Trevino enrolled in San Antonio
College, determined to learn how to draw and paint with his left
hand. In 1974 he produced the impressive La Historia Chicana, a one
hundred-foot-long work embracing six centuries of Mexican American
heritage now on display inside the Sueltenfuss Library at Our Lady
of the Lake University in San Antonio. Since then, Trevino has
completed many more paintings and public artworks, including Spirit
of Healing, the nine-story hand-cut tile mosaic that graces
Christus Santa Rosa Children's Hospital in downtown San Antonio.
His work has been collected by the Smithsonian American Art Museum,
the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum, and the San Antonio
Museum of Art. Anthony Head's sensitive and elegant biography now
offers readers an intimate view of the artist's life. Head captures
Trevino's determination, artistic vision, and the deep pride in his
Chicano heritage that he transmits to the world through his
creations. Spirit: The Life and Art of Jesse Trevino promises to
engage and inspire readers with its vivid portrayal of this triumph
of art and the human spirit.
