Judith F. Baca - CSU Northridge Art Galleries, Northridge, California: Preview by G. James Daichendt
Judith Baca is a force of nature. The artist and activist is responsible for approximately 250 murals in Los Angeles that have captured the spirit of neighborhoods, while mentoring and influencing scores of young people who have served as collaborators. Painting murals for close to fifty years, her ability to understand a community and to create meaningful work that speaks to the issues that matter is uncanny. One of her most impressive accomplishment is "The Great Wall of Los Angeles," a 2,754 foot-long mural located along the Tujunga Flood Control Channel in the San Fernando Valley, which has taken on a significant life of its own since its inception in 1974. -- Visual Art Source
