Does anyone have contact information for Romero. I saw his painting of the death of Salazar in the Cheech Marin “Chicano” exhibit. It was awesome.

Has anyone heard about the effort to get a postage stamp of Salazar? Want more information?

Ed Begly, Jr. (St. Elsewhere, Six Feet Under) wrote a play by the name of Cesar & Ruben that opened in Austin last week. Itís the second time this project has been launched (the last time was in L.A. in front of Cesarís family) and itís actually at the university I work at. The Austin Chronicle wrote a feature called The Austin Chronicle wrote a feature called "Keeping Cesar Alive" on the production a few weeks ago. Iím hoping to catch it.

John,
Thanks a lot for that link. I’ve seen prints of those paintings but could not remember the name of the artist and didn’t have my Chicano Art: Resistance and Affirmation (CARA) exhibit book with me to check it out.

American Chicano artist Frank Romero completed a painting in 1986 entitled, “The Death of Ruben Salizar.” It is part of the Smithsonian American Art Museum Collection. When the collection was on tour it was exhibited at the Palm Springs Art Museum and Mr. Romero came to see his painting again. More info on Romero and the painting…
