Originating in the early seventies, Chicano art long remained unrecognised by the art and gallery world. This breakthrough publication features the work of twenty six Chicano artists and marks the transition of this unique and exciting movement into the critical fold of contemporary art. Defined by Marin as a blending of traditional Mexican and American Pop influences; Chicano art depicts Hispanic culture, religion and politics with brilliant colour and emotion. Including incisive essays by leading scholars on the origins of the school, CHICANO VISIONS shows how artists such as Gronk, Patssi Valdez and Carlos Almaraz are continuing the work of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera in redefining our understanding and appreciation of Mexican art. Marin's collection has been touring the U.S. in conjunction with the release of this book, enjoying corporate sponsorship and wide critical acclaim. Now art lovers in Britain can enjoy the power and drama of Chicano art.
