This is the blog for the UCLA Chicanx Latinx Art and Artists course offered by the Cesar E. Chavez Department of Chicanx Central American Studies (CCAS M175, also Art M184 and World Arts and Cultures M128). This course provides a historical and contemporary overview of Chicanx Latinx art production with an emphasis on painting, photography, prints, murals and activist art.
I chose to do Graciela Iturbide because I love photography and her black and white photography has an incredible perspective and I after speaking with Professor Lopez, Iturbide has more of a connection to the chicana movement.
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican/German artist. She inspired Chicana artists, but she was not a Chicana. Prof. Lopez
