Object Details
- Artist
- John M. Valadez, born Los Angeles, CA 1951
- Exhibition Label
- When Valadez established his studio on Broadway Street in downtown Los Angeles, this busy thoroughfare became a recurring subject of stylish Chicanos traversing the commercial district. Here he presents a scene of two vendors competing for the attention of female shoppers. The baroque profusion of detail, which implies the complexity of everyday life, juxtaposes images of spiritual longing, female rapture, and commercial fulfillment.
