Information about the artist and/or manufacturer:
Frank Romero is an artist born in East Los Angeles, California, in 1941. He grew up in the Los Angeles community of Boyle Heights, a culturally diverse middle-class neighborhood, and was already well into his career when he developed an awareness of being a Latino artist. During the height of the Chicano civil rights movement in the early 1970s, as a member of the Chicano artist group "Los Four," he achieved a new high-profile status in the broader art community. It was not until the mid-1980s, however, that Romero was able to give visual form to some of the emotionally charged political events he had witnessed. Some of his works are held at the National Museum of American Art, Washington, D.C.
