Chicano Collection Art
advocate and entertainer Cheech Marin presents this exhibition of 26 limited-edition
reproductions (giclées) of paintings by prominent Chicano artists. The archival-quality
digital prints depict images of urban life and the Chicano experience during 1969
through 2001. Original linocut-print portraits by Artemio Rodriguez
of La Mano Press, a one-hour documentary by award-winning director Tamara Hernandez,
and an essay by Chon A. Noriega, Ph.D. of UCLA's Chicano Studies Research Center
are included with the exhibition. The giclées were produced by Richard S. Duardo
through his studio, Modern Multiples Fine Art Editions.
The exhibition
is the culmination of a one-year project spearheaded by Mr. Marin in partnership
with Bank of America and Farmers Insurance that is designed to advance Chicano
art as a recognized school of American art and increase public accessibility to
it. In addition to donating 50 commemorative sets to major U.S. art museums and
universities, 25 sets will be sold privately with net proceeds to benefit the
Hispanic Scholarship Fund.
