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…

Gronk (American, born 1954)
Work Creator notes (display):
Gronk is the pseudonym of Chicano painter, printmaker, and performance artist Glugio Nicandro. He was born in East Los Angeles, California. Gronk was a founding member of ASCO, a multi-media arts collective based in Los Angeles and active in the 1970s and 1980s. As a member of ASCO, Gronk made "movies without film" and farcical "happenings," or street performances. In 1977, Gronk was one of the founders of Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE). Gronk has not always sought to bring his art to just those who regularly visit galleries, seeking workers, students and the people of the streets. One of his most visible challenges to the status quo took place as a member of ASCO, when he, Harry Gamboa, and Willie Herron tagged their names on the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) after being told that LACMA didn't collect Chicano art because it wasn't "fine art." He is best known for his murals, including those at Estrada Courts in East Los Angeles. His work is collected by museums around the country including the Smithsonian American Art Museum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gronk_(artist)
