April 22 — Carnegie Art Museum to hold member’s tour of Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach

The Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA)’s comprehensive retrospective exhibition of work by legendary Los Angeles artist Frank Romero, encompasses over 50 years of the artist’s career, including History of the Chicano Movimiento from the Carnegie Art Museum collection. CAM members and their guests are invited to tour the Museum of Latin American Art exhibition Dreamland: A Frank Romero Retrospective, lead by curator Eddie Hayes.
 

Born in East Lost Angeles in 1941, Frank E. Romero is one of the most iconic L.A. artists of our time. As the last practicing artist of the Los Four art collective, Dreamland recounts his life’s journey through over 100 paintings, sculptures, prints, and ceramics.

This career retrospective explores Romero’s robust urban vocabulary steeped in an eclectic mapping of the city’s cultural terrain. Dreamland: A Frank Romero Retrospective celebrates the artist’s lifelong fascination with city lore and, through his perspective, explores the confluence of American pop culture, Latin American heritage, and the Chicano experience.
