José Esquivel

The career of José Esquivel has spanned over 50 years in the graphic and fine arts in San Antonio, Texas. The Chicano socio-political movement of the 1960s and 1970s was a major influence on his early work and provided a direction that continues to this day. In 1968, Esquivel co-founded El Grupo in San Antonio, Texas. One of the earliest Chicano collectives in the country, El Grupo evolved into Con Safo in 1971. Esquivel’s work has been included in national and international exhibitions.
