Not Just a Horse \u2013 The Art and Life of Luis Jimenez<\/strong>
\nResearched and presented by Mary Jo McMullen<\/p>\n

Luis Jimenez grew up in El Paso, Texas and his art reflects the west with a Latino perspective.\u00a0 He referred to himself as a Chicano Pop Artist and said he was not a western artist, although his work certainly reflected his experiences in a border town.\u00a0 His use of fiberglass and neon for his sculptures was a deliberate decision to bring art to the average person.\u00a0 He said \u201cI have an agenda. \u2013 art that reaches out to Chicanos and a working-class audience, that helps them celebrate their culture and history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Art Talks are $5 for non-members; free for TMA members and students with ID.<\/p>\n

No Solo un Caballo \u2013 El Arte y la Vida de Luis Jimenez<\/strong>
\nInvestigada y presentada por Mary Jo McMullen<\/p>\n

Luis Jim\u00e9nez creci\u00f3 en El Paso, Texas, y su arte refleja el oeste desde una perspectiva latina. Se refer\u00eda a s\u00ed mismo como un artista pop chicano y dec\u00eda que no era un artista oeste, aunque su obra reflejaba sin duda sus experiencias en una ciudad fronteriza. Su uso de fibra de vidrio y ne\u00f3n para sus esculturas fue una decisi\u00f3n deliberada para acercar el arte a la gente com\u00fan. Dijo \u201cTengo un objetivo. – crear arte que llegue a los chicanos y al p\u00fablico de clase trabajadora, que les ayude a celebrar su cultura y su historia.\u201d<\/p>\n
