Letter From Gloria

About the Item

Signed, titled and numbered #15/30. This is one in a series of prints related to letters and notes from a teen age friend. The other prints in the series are Chocolat Kisses and The Letter. The image shows a cluttered kitchen with signs of partying and a beefcake body-builder homoerotic image over the sink. In the 1970's, Chicano artist Xavier Viramontes worked with the Galeria De La Raza of San Francisco on a number billboard/mural projects. During this time, he also designed the poster for the United Farmworkers Union, 'Boycott Grapes’, which is now part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institute, National Museum of American Art, in Washington, D.C. His work is also in the permanent collections of Norwalk Community Technical College, Norwalk, Connecticut, and the David and Lucile Parkard Foundation, Oakland, California. Viramontes was the subject of a 1-hour documentary Xavier Viramontes, A Life in Print which has been shown on PBS. It covers Xavier's early years growing up in a large Hispanic family in the Richmond / San Pablo, area and his involvement with the Galeria de la Raza of San Francisco. Born in Richmond, California, Xavier has a BFA Degree in Painting from the San Francisco Art Institute and an MA Degree in Printmaking from San Francisco State University. He currently teaches printmaking at City College of San Francisco.
