Synopsis:

The documentary LOS FOUR records the first exhibition of Chicano artists held at a major art museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, in 1974. Los Four (1973-1983) was an influential Chicano art collective that included Carlos Almaraz, Gilbert  Magu Sanchez Lujan, Roberto de la Rocha, and Frank Romero. This film captures the group's debates over art, politics, and community, revealing their experimentation with spray-can techniques, found object, and installation art and their self-conscious efforts to develop Chicano icons. MURALS OF ATZLAN: THE STREET PAINTERS OF EAST LOS ANGELES documents the exhibition  Murals of Aztlán: The Street Painters of East Los Angeles at the Craft and Folk Art Museum of Los Angeles in 1981. The exhibition featured portable murals in the gallery space painted by some of the leading Chicano and Chicana artists: Carlos Almaraz, Gronk, Judithe Hernandez, Willie Herron, Frank Romero, John Valadez, and the East Los Streetscapers (David Rivas Botello, Wayne Alaniz Healy, and George Yepes). Filmmaker James Tartan played a pivotal role in documenting Chicano Los Angeles and training early Chicano filmmakers in the 1970s.
