46. Artist:
Botello, David
Title: Long Life to the Creative Force
Date: February 13-19, 1989
Medium: silk screen
Dimension: 38 1/4" x 25 1/2"
Art Center: Self-Help Graphics
Comments: "The elder represents long life in a peaceful setting.
The plumed serpent is 'Quetzalcoatl' representing the 'creative force'
but also 'chaos' which surrounds the elder and wants the heart as
the final sacrifice of life. The braids on the heart are her/his life
story; the nopales cactus are new life still growing. The cat is the
jaguar, 'Tezcatlipoca', death lingering over your left shoulder, waiting
for the person giving up on life. The message is that we must remain
in balance, rest and soothe our hearts, not succumb to desires, etc."
D. Botello

49. Artist:
Calderón, Rudy
Title: Manifestation of Trinity
Date: December 7-11, 1987
Medium: silk screen
Dimension: 26" x 37 5/8"
Art Center: Self-Help Graphics
Comments: "'Manifestation of Trinity' is an attempt to portray
analogies between the ancient and the universal concept of Trinity
and recognizable manifestations in life that are triple in nature,
the three primary colors from which all other colors emerge, and the
family unit of father, mother and child from which all nations take
form. Spirit endows matter with dynamic conscious life." R. Calderón

51. Artist:
Carrasco, Barbara
Title: Negativity Attracts
Date: March 26-30, 1990
Medium: silk screen
Dimension: 40" x 26"
Art Center: Self-Help Graphics
Comments: "The print is the result of minimalizing detail work
in order to focus more clearly on color and content (form). 'Negativity
Attracts' reflects male- female relationships often seen as conflicting
yet attracting because of, or in spite of, differences." B. Carrasco

52. Artist:
Carrasco, Barbara
Title: Self-Portrait
Date: February 24-March 1, 1984
Medium: silk screen
Dimension: 28" x 40"
Art Center: Self-Help Graphics
Comments: This print is the response to a 1983 censorship battle
the artist had with the Los Angeles Redevelopment Agency. Carrasco's
mural for the 1984 Olympics depicted scenes of the internment of the
Japanese-Americans during World War II, and the mass lynching of Chinese
workers in the late 1800s. In this self-portrait, the artist is about
to be white-washed by a paint roller. The paintbrush in the artist's
hand reads, "Siqueiros No. 1," referring to the whitewashing of a
mural by renowned Mexican artist David Alfaro Siqueiros.
