Gennaro Garcia (20th Century)
Untitled (Portrait in Blue and Yellow)
Acrylic on canvas

Gennaro Garcia's work interlaces fine art and social consciousness, inspired by the legacy of Mexican muralists and his experience as a public-school art teacher in South Central Los Angeles. Drawing from Critical Pedagogy and Critical Race Theory, Garcia uses art as a form of inquiry and liberation, engaging students and communities in dialogues on power, culture, and identity. Now a professor at CSU Sacramento, his paintings and teachings emphasize art's transformative role in social justice and education.
