No Customer Reviews
Rupert Garc a: The Making of an American Artist, a Testimonio is a compelling story of a working-class Mexican American from California's Central Valley who became a major American artist with national and international recognition. Mario T. Garc a's oral history of Rupert Garc a, based on extensive interviews over many years, provides a compelling autobiographical narrative of the life and times of an American artist. This testimonio places Rupert Garc a's art in historical perspective, spanning his beginnings in Stockton, California and his time in the Air Force, including participating in the U.S. war in Vietnam, to his experience at San Francisco State during the historic San Francisco State student strike in 1968-69. Influenced by history and politics, Rupert Garc a's art speaks to a changing America through the eyes of an artist, speaking to issues of race, class, imperialism, war, and the role of the artist in society.
