About the Item

Signed and titled by the artist from the edition of 10. Freeway Traffic reflects the vast network of highways that shaped modern Los Angeles. Intersecting roadways, automobiles, and sweeping curves create a dynamic composition that captures the movement and energy of Southern California. One of the eight prints comprising Snapshots of the San Fernando Valley, completed by Frank Romero in 2000, Freeway Traffic forms part of the artist's visual record of the social, cultural, and industrial landscape of Southern California's San Fernando Valley. All eight prints from the series are available individually. Executed in Romero's bold graphic style, the series depicts iconic elements of postwar Southern California life, including freeway interchanges, drive-in movie theaters, orange groves, aerospace imagery, ranching, and suburban neighborhoods. Taken together, the prints reflect Romero's enduring engagement with place, memory, and cultural identity—central themes throughout his career as a founding member of Los Four and a leading figure in the Chicano art movement. Throughout his 40 year career as an artist, Frank Romero has been a dedicated member of the Los Angeles arts community. As a member of the 1970s Chicano art collective, Los Four, Romero and fellow artists Carlos Almaraz, Beto de la Rocha and Gilbert Lujan, helped to define and promote the new awareness of La Raza through murals, publications and exhibitions. Los Four's historic 1974 exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art was the country's first show of Chicano art at a major art institution. Since then, Romero has successfully balanced a career in both the public and private arenas. He has completed over 15 murals throughout Los Angeles, and was a key contributor to the 1984 Olympic Arts Festival with “Going to the Olympics,” a large scale mural which adorned one of Los Angeles’ busiest freeways (Highway 101). In 2012 he created a print of the same image, after the mural was painted over.
