ロサンゼルスカウンティ美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (ロサンゼルスカウンティ美術館Instagram)「Artist Ester Hernández incorporates the history of farmwork, both in her family and in her hometown in the San Joaquin Valley, into her works. Hernández's poster "Sun Mad" transforms the radiant Sun Maid icon into a radioactive calavera poisoned by "insecticides, miticides, herbicides, fungicides." The skeleton grins as she carries out her work for the global raisin distributer—which is based in the San Joaquin Valley—hauling an overflowing basket of ripe grapes. Ironically, her labor brings grapes to life at the cost of her own vitality. Essential California farmworkers have continued to feed the country during the dual crises of COVID-19 and wildfire season. LACMA's collection is filled with objects inspired by the rich history of essential work in California's agriculture industry. However, many of these objects celebrate California's bounty without recognizing the workers and systems responsible for creating it. Explore more examples, and learn about an upcoming program "Essentially Forgotten: How COVID-19 Impacts Frontline Workers" at the link in our bio.
