La Ella Cruising, Gilbert Luján, 2004. Courtesy of University Art Galleries.
One of the founding members of the Chicano artists collective Los Four, Gilbert “Magu” Luján is known for his coloration and visual explorations of Chicano culture and community that drew upon and brought to life various historic and contemporary visual sources with startling results: Pyramid-mounted low riders driven by anthropomorphic dogs traversing a newly defined and mythologized L.A. He was part of a small group of dedicated artists and intellectuals who set about defining a Chicano identity and culture as part of the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s.
