Frank Romero
A pioneer of the Chicana/o art movement, Frank Romero (b. 1941, Los Angeles) is counted among the earliest and most influential of its participants. Romero’s visual explorations of Chicanidad have gone on to become cornerstones of this period in art history that arose from El Movimiento, the social and political civil rights movement that began in the early 1970s. With a career spanning seven decades, Romero uses various mediums, such as paintings, murals, neon, and sculptures, to explore themes that relate to the Chicano experience, his Latin American heritage, and popular culture, creating works that are reflective of the multiculturalism that is East Los Angeles.
