Furthermore, Minjarez paints this mural in his community which made up of Hispanic and other racial backgrounds to build a supportive and relatable connection with each other. He wants the public to think that the future for immigrants is a reachable and realistic one. It is a possibly chance for undocumented adults and children to obtain a citizenship, reducing unwarranted police checks or stops, keeping together families rather than separating them through deportation, these are all…

In Frank Romero's mural “Going to the Olympics, 1984,” he uses vivid and bold colors to depict everyday life in Los Angeles. In this image, I can notice cars, blimps, palm trees, hearts, and two men wrestling. In a busy city like Los Angeles, it isn't uncommon for cars to be nearly bumper to bumper, which is perhaps the reason why he depicted the city in such a manner. In addition, the palm trees and cars are slanted, which can be Romero's way of showing his audience that the cars were rushing…

Kloss asserts that Diego Velázquez was “one of the greatest painters in a European century”. Perhaps the most famous painting by Velazquez is his Maids of Honor, Las Meninas, painted about 1656. It has the distinction of being probably the first painting in which a living King and a painter at work are seen together in a studio” (L36, 20:11). The subject is multifaceted; the painting is entitled Maids of Honor, referring to the princess’ maids who are attending to her, but are not the focus…

Frida Kahlo had a very eventful life that made her who she was, Frida Kahlo: the extraordinary artist. Kahlo did more in her short life than most people will ever do. Frida was born on July 6, 1907 in Coyoacán, Mexico, a small town on the outskirts of Mexico City where Frida grew up in a house in which her father had built that she knew as La Casa Azul, or the blue house. She was born as Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderón, but to her and her family, she was simply Frida Kahlo. She always…

Diego Rivera was commissioned by Edsel Ford to paint murals at the DIA; and today these murals are considered one of the most influential pieces of art in America. At the DIA; When one first walks into the Rivera Court, there is a phrase below one of the panel that says: ars longa, vita brevis; which translates to art is long, life is short; symbolizing how the messages in murals he painted are timeless, especially when history always seems to rhyme with the present. Good vs evil, and nature…

I think Velazquez was trying to portray a beautiful young girl and her hardworking maids. In the picture Velazquez was trying to portray royalty at it’s finest. A king who would only settle for the best for his daughter. She is waited on hand and foot by her hardworking maids and caretakers. This painting also shows how Velazquez wanted to emphasize how fragile this young girl was. This painting seemed to scream vulnerability. This girl looks no older than eight years old and looks like she…

Tomas Rivera portrayed the suffering, strength, and beauty of the migrant farm workers by telling their stories about their lives and the struggles they went through and the blessings they received. There were three things that stood out to me the most and they were: the conditions which the migrant farm workers had to work through, the way they were being treated by people, and how they always had hope. These three things show how strong these people were and how much they had worked for…
