Pastels and Paintings Reflect Chicano Culture

A new exhibit is making its debut at the (MCASD) La Jolla on Sunday and its full of photographs, pastels, paintings and more.

will be on display at MCASD and reflects Valadez's Mexican-American culture. The exhibition spans 35 years of the artist's photos, paintings and other paper work, from his early use of documentary and street photography to European baroque and rocco paintings.
