Part of Pacific Standard Time, “Art Along the Hyphen: The Mexican-American Generation” explores a seminal but overlooked generation of artists who started working in Los Angeles between the turn of the century and the end of the 1960s, prior to the rise of the Chicano art movement. From commercial illustrations that celebrated the mythic Californios to modernist art that engaged directly with the Civil Rights era, this exhibition pulls together one hundred rarely seen paintings, sculptures, photographs, and graphics to explore how these artists drew inspiration from both their Mexican heritage and American home.
