Condition: FINE. First printing, a trade paperback, issued simultaneously with hardcover. "Marin is an art collector and community activist as well as a director and actor (one-half of the Cheech and Chong duo) and a pioneer in recognizing the vibrancy and significance of Chicano art. The Chicano school began evolving 30 years ago as artists sought to combine traditional Mexican imagery, themes, and styles with American pop, and it is now the source for some of America's most evocative, animated, brilliantly hued, inventive, and gripping contemporary painting. Marin's extraordinary collection forms the foundation for this exciting and invaluable showcase for the spiritually powerful and aesthetically diverse work of 30 seminal artists, including John Valadez, Gronk, Diane Gamboa, Patssi Valdez, Adan Hernandez, and Carlos Almaraz. Gorgeous color plates are accompanied by brief artist bios, Marin's introduction, and illuminating essays by art critic Max Benavidez, who traces the political, social, and artistic roots of the Chicano sensibility; curator Tere Romo, who concentrates on Chicana artists; and art historian Constance Cortez, who discusses the concept of Aztlan, "a geographic and a symbolic locale" that inspires many Chicano painters. Sensuous, cosmic, or satirical, Chicano paintings reflect our symbiotic, bicultural world in all its conflicts and soulfulness, sorrows and beauty." (Booklist) Illustrated throughout in full color. Slightly oversized square format. 160 pp. Very near fine in illustrated wrappers with self flaps.

This breakthrough publication will be available in both hardcover and paperback formats. The exhibition features Marin's collection of over 30 artists' work, and their paintings that depict Hispanic culture, religion, and politics with brilliant color and emotion. Incisive essays by leading scholars describe the origins of Chicano art. In the same way that Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo redefined our understanding and appreciation of Mexican art, Chicano artists such as Gronk, Patssi Valdez, and Carlos Almaraz are putting Chicano art on the cutting edge of contemporary art. / CHEECH MARIN is the recipient of the 1999 National Council of La Raza Kraft Foods Alma Community Service Award, and the 2000 Imagen Foundation's Creative Achievement Award. A performer for 30 years, most recently in Nash Bridges and formerly of Cheech and Chong fame, Marin holds the world's largest private collection of Chicano art. He resides in California." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Introduction, by Cheech Marin; Chicano art: culture, myth, and sensibility, by Max Benvidez; Mestiza aesthetics and Chicana painterly visions, by Tere Romo; Aztlan in Tejas: Chicano/Chicana art from the third coast, by Constance Cortez; The plates, by commentaries by Cheech Marin; Biographies of the artists.

VG. near fine. softcovers. no dj. A delightful copy - gift quality appears unread. no markings. or inscriptions. internally a good crisp clean copy. From the personal collection of a dealer/collector. .Widely known for works that celebrate the traditions of her family and her South Texas Latino community, Carmen Lomas Garza has been active as a painter, printmaker, muralist, and children's book illustrator since the 1970s. Born in Kingsville, Texas, she experienced institutionalized racism in a segregated school system that punished Mexican American students for speaking Spanish. Through her art, which draws on her childhood memories and depicts the relationship between family and community, Garza challenges the legacy of repression while establishing the folk art idiom, as employed by nonwhite and immigrant artists, as a vital element of American modernism. Garza's art illustrates how, despite racial inequities, cultural conflict, and urban pressures, the Mexican American community has sustained a rich and vital cultural identity. In this volume of the pathbreaking A Ver series, Constance Cortez explores Garza's artwork in the context of the Chicano/a art movement, family and regional traditions, and Garza's own political and social activism.
