Latino Art

Yesterday's post had an intense discussion in the comments section concerninig our culture and race. Whew! Today's post will attempt to appreciate it.

Rick Flores who is a retired UAW member of the General Motors stamping plant in Marion, Ind., but labor cartoonist and painter is how many of us think of him.

"Labor art," says Flores, "is art out of the total human spirit. From strikes and labor rallies to sounds of factory machinery, to the death of a friend to the migrant farm workers to the tragedy of Sept.11--all of these images and more are labor art. It's about the lives of workers, about their work, their homes and families, and their friends and enemies."
