Chicano Art
チカーノ・アート / 1965– / Style / Printmaking and Social Movements
Expresión nacida del movimiento por los derechos civiles de los mexicoamericanos. Murales, carteles serigrafiados, lowriders y lettering forman un vocabulario continuo, y la iconografía azteca, las imágenes santas católicas y una escritura mezclada de inglés y español conviven en un mismo plano. Un caso real de estilo creado por una movilización.
Composición narrativa de los murales / Yuxtaposición de iconografía azteca y católica / Lettering bilingüe mezclado / Planos de color intensos de la serigrafía
Entrada del diccionario
- Usos idóneos
- Organising and campaign graphics that have to belong to the people they address and be producible by them · Bilingual identity and signage in which code-switching is designed rather than reduced to a translated second line
- Tipografía
- Brush and blackletter-derived lettering drawn by hand, switching language mid-line without switching register.
- Composición
- A continuous mural band read left to right, the sacred figure held at the centre and the political detail worked into the edges.
- Material
- Flat silkscreen colour on cheap paper, or exterior paint on a wall: both made in numbers and put up in public.
- Precaución
- 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.
- Para profundizar
- The posters of the United Farm Workers / The activity of Asco / Its connection to lowrider culture
