César Martínez
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
César Martínez is an artist, prominent in the Chicano world of art. He was born in Laredo, Texas, close to the Mexican border, in 1944. While studying at what was then called Texas A&I College, and later Texas A&I University, he became marginally involved in the Chicano movement for civil rights and became close friends with several of its leaders, among them, Carlos Guerra, now a syndicated columnist who works out of the San Antonio Express-News.
He is currently based in San Antonio, Texas. Some of his more famous paintings are from his series of portraits of pachucos.
