Between the United States and Mexico,
Central America and Cuba there is a special bond, a familial
connection. The exchange of population is one evidence of this
bonding but even stronger evidence is provided through aspects of
culture: Language, Music and Art. Revealed in art are societal
forms, social criticism and community customs, with special ‘flavors’
of the individual home countries.
The Tobey C. Moss Gallery mounts an exhibition to focus upon these aspects in the Latin paintings, lithographs, etchings and drawings by renowned artists Raul Anguiano, Rufino Tamayo, Leonora Carrington, Carlos Merida, Gunther Gerzso, Pablo O’Higgins, Leopoldo Mendez, Jose Luis Cuevas, Francisco Zuniga and others. We also include works by Chicano artists Carlos Almaraz, Gronk, Frank Romero and John Valadez, as well as works by Francis deErdely, John Schroeder, Gordon Wagner and Howard Warshaw which have been inspired by Latino culture. We also present a new project published by Aardvark Letterpress in Los Angeles which celebrates the city of Los Angeles based upon Loteria, a Mexican game of chance.
Many of these artists are/were shared by many countries through their travels and education. An easy blurring of borders is demonstrated in the techniques, compositions and narratives in their work. Political broadsides and folk customs, abstraction and photography reflect the varied visions of these artists of Mexico, Guatemala, California and Cuba.
