Chicano
Art for Our Millennium:
Collected Works from the Arizona State University Community
by Gary D. Keller, Mary Erickson, Pat Villeneuve, and others, with photography
by Craig Smith and Marilyn Szabo
This beautifully produced book showcases nearly 120 works of Chicana and Chicano
art and provides a good representation of the art movement for general readers
and students. Created in part as a catalog for the 2004 exhibition of the
same name, the book is also designed to serve as a useful tool for teaching
Chicana/o art from the elementary grades through graduate school as well as
for the novice adult. Art aficionados will relish the striking full-color
images in this coffee-table-quality volume. Themes include community values,
borders and bicultural-ism, spirituality, personal feelings and shared experiences,
cultural icons, and non-traditional representations.
This volume is an outgrowth of the highly successful project, Contemporary
Chicana and Chicano Art: Artists, Works, Culture, and Education, published
in 2002. That two-volume compilation was the winner in the fine art category
of the 2003 Independent Publisher Book Awards.
