Cultural Writing. Multimedia. Latino/Latina Studies. Film Studies. This DVD contains two early documentaries by veteran filmmaker James Tartan, who played a pivotal role in documenting Chicano Los Angeles and also training early Chicano filmmakers in the 1970s. "Los Four" documents the first exhibition of Chicano artists held at a major art museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, in 1974. Los Four (1973-1983) was an influential Chicano art collective that included Carlos Almaraz, Gilbert "Magu" Sanchez Lujan, Roberto de la Rocha, and Frank Romero. The documentary captures the group's debates over art, politics, and community, while it also reveals their experimentation with spray-can techniques, found object, and installation art as well as their self-conscious efforts to develop Chicano icons.
