"Contemporary Chicana and Chicano Art" brings into sharp focus the rich diversity of an art movement that is now achieving full recognition in the art community at large. These two volumes encapsulate the lives and careers of nearly two hundred artists -- from such established masters as Luise Jiménez and Yolanda López to emerging new talents Xóchitl Cristina Gil and Vincent Valdez -- and presents representative samples of their work, faithfully reproduced in color. The full range of visual arts is established here, iwth more than six hundred individual works -- paintings, sculptures, installation, serigraphs, lithographs, photographs, digital works; some works traditional, others boldly controversial. Separate commentary helps to evaluate the work of each artist and to place it in the context of the movement. Additional thematic sections are included, illustrating Chicana/Chicano artists' explorations of subjects from the barrio to the border, from lowriders to El Día de los Muertos. -- From publisher's description.… (more)
