Synopsis

Carlos Cortéz (1923–2005) was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to a Mexican Indian father and German mother who provided him with a multi-hyphenate, multilingual, and totally radical household. He was a singular artist of many abilities, and worked as a poet, writer, visual artist, printer, photographer, muralist, organizer, editor, and activist. We honor him with this book for the spellbinding life of art he created in Chicago, where he will be remembered as a beloved abuelo/mentor to generations of artists, poets and activists. Cortez' poetry starting from the late 1950s up until 2005 is represented here. Included are also significant examples of his linocuts, woodcuts and scratchboard drawings and prints that cover five decades of work. Background information regarding his cultural influences as well as who he collaborated with in the creation of organizational events mainly in Chicago are also examined. He was a member of the Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W.) union, Movimiento Artistico Chicano, MARCH, Inc, Chicago Muralist Group, Mexican Print Making Workshop/Taller del Grabado/Taller Mestizarte, MIRA, and the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum, Chicago American Indian Center.
