About the Artwork
Artist: Carlos Almaraz (1941–1989), a leading figure in the Chicano arts movement in Los Angeles. He was a founding member of the art collective "Los Four".
Medium: Silkscreen print in colors on Coventry Rag paper. The work is a print and not a unique painting, often found in editions.
Style: The piece belongs to the Neo-Expressionism art movement and incorporates surrealist aesthetics. It is characterized by its dynamic use of color and distorted forms.
Themes: Almaraz's work often explores themes of city life, human plight, and his Chicano heritage. The painting includes various elements like steaming tea cups, human figures, and a dog, with bold outlines that convey action and interaction.
The print was completed in 1990, the year after Almaraz's death from AIDS-related complications in 1989. The artist's wife, Elsa Flores Almaraz, signed, dated, and numbered the prints on his behalf. |
