A Beautiful Introduction to Chicano/a Art "Contemporary Chicana and Chicano Art: Artists, Work, Culture, and Education" is a beautifully produced, two-volume introduction to the vibrant, sexy and often political genre of Chicano/a art. Many kudos to Bilingual Press for taking on this huge project. You will find the remarkable artwork of such artists as René Arceo, Connie Arismendi, Alma Lopez, and hundreds of others. The reproduced work jumps out at you with life and power. These two volumes were produced with the support of the Center for Latino Initiatives of The Smithsonian Institution, the Inter-University Program for Latino Research, and numerous art organizations. |

The result of years of careful preparation, this two-volume work of art covers the artistic production and biographies of nearly 200 individual artists from across the United States as well as Chicano/a artists residing in Mexico and elsewhere. This unique work was published both as a full-color, coffee-table-quality set of books, produced to exacting standards, and electronically, with its own separate Web site provides bibliography, indexing, artists' statements, new works by the included artists, and other information that is continually updated. Produced with the support of the Center for Latino Initiatives of The Smithsonian Institution, the Inter-University Program for Latino Research, and numerous art organizations around the nation, this book represents a major advance in the national and international understanding, appreciation, and dissemination of Chicana/o art. |
