The Chicano art movement began in the 1960s, when a group of Mexican-American artists sought an identity for their shared aesthetic—vibrant work that was often inspired by Mexican moralism and pre-Columbian art. Amalia Mesa-Bains, now 80, was part of the movement. In large installations and prints, she explored aspects of colonial repression. Mesa-Bains is most famous for her home altars, or ofrendas, which pair images of saints and the Virgin with family photographs and political figures. In her first retrospective, 40 works from her entire career are on view. —Elena Clavarino
