Chicano art up close – Con Safos – (the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago) From: maroon.uchicago.edu
Tagged: Chicago, Chicano, Illinois
Name not withstanding, the National Museum of Mexican Art is a rather unprepossessing place: a smallish stucco–brick building in a suburb 20 minutes away from campus. One would not expect a fascinating, if somewhat unfocused, collection of contemporary Chicano art in such a place. The National Museum, however, has found its niche, and has collected a testament to the wildly different artistic reactions to the movement and culture of economically dispossessed Mexicans.
This is an ambitious plan, of course. The exhibit does strive for a kind of comprehension, but unfortunately fails to construct Con Safos showcases a remarkable variety of media and styles.”*
