Work Creator notes (display):
Born in Denver, Colorado in 1947, Emanuel Martinez began his career as an artist at the age of thirteen, when he painted his first mural. His art education includes workshops with world renowned artists and sculptors including David A. Siquieros and Francisco Zuniga. At the age of 20, Emanuel did a major work and two other pieces that are now in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C. As a muralist, painter and sculptor he occupies an outstanding status among nationally known artists. Since establishing a studio in 1968, Martinez has received international acclaim and prestigious awards for his design capabilities and high standards of workmanship. He enjoys personalizing compositions for clients and doing public works of art for site-specific environments. His work is lively, timeless, yet conveys a sense of serenity. He has been featured in over 300 newspaper/magazine articles and 37 published books, including a book written on his art career entitled: “Emanuel Martinez: A Retrospective”. http://emanuelmarti…
Work Creator (display):
La Cucaracha (American newspaper, based in Pueblo, CO, founded in 1976 to 1983)
Work Creator notes (display):
La Cucaracha was a Chicano newspaper published in Pueblo, CO. It was started by Juan and Deborah Espinosa and David Martinez, who were students at the University of Colorado, Boulder during the Chicano Movement (early 1970s). They felt that there was a need to start a new alternative Chicano newspaper. They chose Pueblo as their location because it was a hotspot for the Chicano Movement and because of the Chicano demographic. They were joined by other former CU students and community leaders. They started publishing La Cucaracha in May of 1976 and stopped publication in September 1983. They covered many topics including: Police brutality, education, land rights, healthcare, local, and national news. La Cucaracha newspaper has been digitized and is now available for free research access and use online at the Colorado Historic Newspaper Collection website. https://chicano.cvl…
