Chicano Art
チカーノ・アート / 1965– / Style / Printmaking and Social Movements
Expression née du mouvement pour les droits civiques des Américains d'origine mexicaine. Peintures murales, affiches sérigraphiées, lowriders et lettrages forment un vocabulaire continu, et l'imagerie aztèque, les images saintes catholiques et une écriture mêlant anglais et espagnol coexistent dans un même plan. Cas avéré d'un style créé par une mobilisation.
Composition narrative des peintures murales / Juxtaposition de l'imagerie aztèque et catholique / Lettrages mêlant deux langues / Aplats de couleur intenses de la sérigraphie
Entrée du dictionnaire
- Usages idéaux
- 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
- Typographie
- Brush and blackletter-derived lettering drawn by hand, switching language mid-line without switching register.
- Composition
- A continuous mural band read left to right, the sacred figure held at the centre and the political detail worked into the edges.
- Matière
- Flat silkscreen colour on cheap paper, or exterior paint on a wall: both made in numbers and put up in public.
- Précaution
- 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.
- Pour approfondir
- The posters of the United Farm Workers / The activity of Asco / Its connection to lowrider culture
