Latino Experience in the USA: Works from the MFAH Collection

May 15, 2020 – Sept 20, 2021
1001 Bissonnet St, Houston, TX 77005, USA

As the artist and theorist César Augusto Martínez once explained, “The Chicano Movement was a renaissance in thinking about us and in creating those institutions and images and writings that reflected who we are.” This slideshow exhibition from the Museum of Fine Arts Houston presents a sampling of works by Latino-American artists, including a seminal portrait from Martínez’s “Batos” series. The exhibition celebrates the powerful role that Latino-American artists and their work have played in reshaping the art-world establishment. —C.J.F.
