解説
This is the first biography of the renowned American Chicano visual artist and activist Rupert Garcia, drawing on fifty hours of interviews conducted over thirty years and accompanied by eighty images. This in-depth oral history gives an unparalleled look at Garcia's life and work, tracing his evolution as an artist and the political upheavals that shaped his life and worldview.
Mario T. Garcia's testimonio places Rupert Garcia's art in historical perspective, from his beginnings as a working-class Mexican American from California's Central Valley, his coming of age in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War, his involvement in the antiwar movement during the San Francisco State student strike in 1968-69, and his participation in the Chicano Movement and beyond. Influenced by history and politics, Garcia's vital works of art represent a changing world through the eyes of an artist, speaking to issues of poverty, racism, capitalism, war, and the role of the artist in society.
His art-from revolutionary silkscreen posters to monumental pastels to portraits of political icons like Frida Kahlo, Che Guevara, and Dolores Huerta-serves to critique history and reassess it. It is work that will endure for generations to come.
