# Chicano Art carries the structure. OSPAAAL Poster appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Chicano Art (Style, 1965–) and its accent from OSPAAAL Poster (Style, 1966–1990s). Structural cues: The narrative composition of the mural; Aztec and Catholic imagery placed side by side; Bilingual lettering; The strong flat colour of silkscreen. Accent cues, used sparingly: Blazing flat color; Multiple languages; Symbolic iconography; International solidarity. Composition: The sacred figure at the centre, with people and labour running around it as a band. Type and lettering: Hand drawn brush script or blackletter for headings, English and Spanish at the same size. Let one material quality come from the second style: Few screen colors, thin paper, folded flat enough to travel by post.. Mood: Rebellion, Intimacy, Exhilaration, Trust. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #f2cf37, #de3b31, #243a66. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Printmaking and Social Movements, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Chicano Art: Lifting the lettering and the saints as decoration: the imagery belongs to a specific movement and community, and taken away from that it reads as costume.
# - OSPAAAL Poster: Do not consume revolutionary aesthetics as decoration, and name whose solidarity with which movement appeared in which medium. Stacking too many symbols keeps the meaning from reaching a distant reader at a glance.
