Judithe Hernández b. 1948

Judithe Hernández was a pioneer in the Chicano Movement advocating for a critical feminist understanding of the sociopolitical era. Her murals garnered her initial acclaim later becoming known for her work with pastels. Through her art, she continues to push a feminist narrative commenting on the sexism found within the Chicano community while creating works that realize women in a positive light - aiming for their portrayal as human beings and not objects. She became the “fifth member” and only female of Los Four. Politics have played a huge role in the art Hernandez makes as she has used her platform to discuss issues that are faced by the Latino community.
