Detailed Description
Rasquache is a Chicano art movement that emerged in the 1970s in Southern California. It is characterized by its use of found objects and everyday materials, often in a humorous or irreverent way. Rasquache artists often seek to challenge traditional notions of what is considered art. They may use unconventional materials or techniques, or create works that are intentionally kitschy or campy. Famous Rasquache artists include Carlos Almaraz, Gilbert “Magu” Lujan, and John Valadez. Almaraz’s “The Big One” (1982) is a prime example of Rasquache art, with its depiction of the 1980 earthquake that struck Los Angeles. Lujan’s “The Virgin of Guadalupe” (1984) is another well-known Rasquache work, which playfully reimagines the traditional Mexican icon. Valadez’s “The Wall” (1982) is a more serious Rasquache work that addresses the issue of immigration. It consists of a painting of the U.S.-Mexico border fence, with a ladder leaning against it. The ladder symbolizes the hope of those who seek to cross the border.
