A Conversation with Margaret Garcia
Sunday, February 15, 3:00 – 4:30
“I define Chicano art by creating it,” Garcia states. The Los Angeles native began her career as a muralist, involved in the murals that swept through the 1984 Olympics. Identified as one of 24 artists who have had an impact on LA Art , Garcia’s work consists of oil paintings saturated with a wildly expressive palette. Flat compositional space is firmly rooted is the tradition of Mexican folk art. Her paintings are in the collections of LACMA , the Laguna Art Museum and the personal collection of Cheech Marin.
