Xavier Viramontes
The Notorious Red Trike

circa 2004

About the Item

Childhood memories of a red tricycle led to this print by Chicano artist Xavier Viramontes. In the 1970's, Viramontes designed the poster for the United Farmworkers Union, 'Boycott Grapes’, which is now part of the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institute, National Museum of American Art, in Washington, D.C. Viramontes was the subject of a 1-hour documentary "Xavier Viramontes, A Life in Print" which has been shown on PBS. It covers Xavier's early years growing up in a large Hispanic family in the Richmond / San Pablo, area and his involvement with the Galeria de la Raza of San Francisco. Born in Richmond, California, Xavier has a BFA Degree in Painting from the San Francisco Art Institute and an MA Degree in Printmaking from San Francisco State University. He currently teaches printmaking at City College of San Francisco.
