Fine art print by Carlos Almaraz Laughing and Crying, a color screenprint created in 1987 by the Mexican-born American artist Carlos Almaraz.
Artist and Artwork Details
Artist: Carlos Almaraz (1941-1989), a leading member of the Chicano art movement in Los Angeles in the 1970s and '80s.
Artwork: Laughing and Crying.
Medium: Color screenprint (silkscreen) on wove paper.
Year: 1987.
Style and Themes: Almaraz was known for brightly colored paintings and prints that captured the vitality and chaos of Los Angeles city life using bold, expressive colors and stylized forms. His work often featured personal iconographic symbols such as figures, cars, cityscapes, and the moon, orchestrating them into dreamlike, agitated compositions. This piece is characteristic of his mature studio work after he shifted from political activism to personal artistic expression in the late 1970s. |
