Los Four
Los Four was a Chicano artist collective during the 1970s and early 1980s in Los Angeles, California. The group was instrumental in bringing Chicano Art to the attention of the mainstream art world.
==Brief history and significance==
The Chicano artist collective ''Los Four'' originally consisted of Frank Romero (b. 1940), Carlos Almaraz (1941–1989), Roberto de la Rocha (b. 1937) and founder Gilbert Luján (1940–2011). Judithe Hernández (b. 1948) became the official fifth member of ''Los Four'' immediately following the group's history-making exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Judithe Hernández had become acquainted with Carlos Almaraz when they attended graduate school at Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles and he introduced her to the group. With the addition of Judithe Hernández, ''Los Four'' became one of only two major Chicano artist collectives to include a woman, the other being ''ASCO'' (Willie Herron, Harry Gamboa, Jr., Gronk, and Patssi Valdez). In writing about the early history of Chicano art in his ''Reflection on the Chicano Art Movimiento, A Primer: by Armando Vazquez'' he wrote, "In Los Angeles there were two seminal art groups that would forge a new Chicano art sensibility". The first was Los Four, which included Carlos Almaraz, Gilbert (Magu) Lujan, Roberto (Beto) de la Rocha, Frank Romero, and Judithe Hernández. All of Los Four's members were college-educated political activists who with other artists formed the intellectual vanguard of the Chicano art movement in the 1970s. Vazquez notes" It is safe to say that this grouping of artists, known collectively as Los Four, "legitimized" Chicano art in the Anglo American art world..." "Today, Frank Romero, Carlos Almaraz, Gilbert Lujan, and Judithe Hernández represent a group of Chicano artists who have attained international respect and are admired for producing original and exceptional bodies of work."
After the untimely death of Carlos Almaraz in 1989, the group has shown together less actively. In 1994, the remaining members were reunited for an exhibition entitled ''Los Four: Twenty Years Later'' at the Robert Berman Gallery. All of the members of ''Los Four'' have enjoyed successful solo careers as visual artists and have exhibited extensively in the United States, Latin America, and Europe. In 2011, Los Four was honored for their contribution to the art of Los Angeles "L.A. XICANO: Mapping Another Los Angeles" at the Fowler Museum. The exhibition was one of eight specifically honoring the contributions of Chicano artists as part of the sweeping arts initiative known as "Pacific Standard Time: The Art of Los Angeles 1975-1980". Each artist of this historically significant group is responsible for bringing well-deserved recognition to Chicano Art and, in no small way, have been instrumental in paving the way for the Chicano/Latino artists that have followed.
