Although he was a prolific political activist who produced banners for the United Farm Workers and cofounded Los Four, by the late 1970s, artist Carlos Almaraz was frustrated with the limitations he experienced in making primarily social and political art.

Shifting his identity from that of a cultural worker to that of a studio artist allowed him the freedom to create a breathtaking array of deeply personal paintings, prints, and drawings—works that are at turns ecstatic, lyrical, contemplative, witty, and dark. More than 30 years after his untimely death in 1989, Almaraz's work continues to speak to our lives as Angelenos, and to our dreams as human beings.
