Author: Hernandez, Judithe
As the fifth and only female member of the art collective Los Four, Judithe Hernández was a figurehead of Chicano/a art in California. She began her artistic career as a muralist in the 1970s, executing commissions for Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers Union, and at the Ramona Gardens Housing Project in East Los Angeles. This catalogue represents the first comprehensive evaluation of Hernández’s 50-year career, and how it has informed Chicano/a artistic practices today.Hernández' paintings and pastel drawings place women against vague, dreamlike backgrounds, clothed in traditional garb or surrounded by animals, gesturing beyond the picture plane while gazing solidly at the viewer.
