This is the first book solely dedicated to the history,
development, and present-day flowering of Chicana and Chicano
visual arts. It offers readers an opportunity to understand and
appreciate Chicana/o art from its beginnings in the 1960s, its
relationship to the Chicana/o Movement and its leading artists,
themes, current directions, and cultural impacts.
Although the word "Chicano" once held negative connotations,
students--along with civil rights activists and artists--adopted it
in the late 1960s in order to reimagine and redefine what it meant
to be Mexican American in the United States. Chicanismo is the
ideology and spirit behind the Chicano Movement and Chicanismo
unites the artists whose work is revealed and celebrated in this
book.
Jackson's scope is wide. He includes paintings, prints, murals,
altars, sculptures, and photographs--and, of course, the artists
who created them. Beginning with key influences, he describes the
importance of poster and mural art, focusing on the work of the
Mexican artist Jose Guadalupe Posada and the significance of
Mexican and Cuban talleres (print workshops). He examines the
importance of art collectives in the United States, as well as
Chicano talleres and community art centers, for the growth of the
Chicano art movement. In conclusion, he considers how Chicano art
has been presented to the general American public.
As Jackson shows, the visual arts have both reflected and created
Chicano culture in the United States. For college students--and for
all readers who want to learn more about this fascinating
subject--his book is an ideal introduction to an art movement with
a social conscience.
