Carlos
Almaraz (1941 - 1989) was born in Mexico City, and grew up in Chicago
and Los Angeles.
He studied at the University of California, Los Angeles, and then
earned an M.F.A. from the Otis Art Institute in 1974.
In 1973 Almaraz, Frank Romero, Gilbert Lujan, and Roberto de la
Roche founded LOS FOUR, a local art collective whose collaborations
brought Chicano street art to the attention of the mainstream
art community of Los Angeles.
For three years Almaraz worked for Cesar Chavez and the United Farmworkers
Union, doing murals, banners, and other art work. Through his pastels,
paintings, and murals, he remains a major influence on younger Latino
artists. His work has been widely exhibited in solo and group shows
throughout the world.
