2 ReCurrent Histories: Enrique Chagoya s Editioned Work August 1 October 4, 2014 Enrique Chagoya s highly sophisticated work elevates the cultural dialogue of our times with sharp-witted humor. Whether calling attention to the cyclical nature of historical events, questioning the hegemonic narrative of American history, or lampooning contemporary political figures, Chagoya s practice follows the example of great political artists such as Callot, Goya, Daumier, Cruikshank, and Posada (each of whom are influences). And, like them, Chagoya expresses some of his most important ideas in his prints. History is the wellspring for Chagoya s printmaking, both thematically and technically. He has frequently borrowed from historical compositions, materials, and formats to shed light on current events; likewise, his use of traditional media and superior skills of execution harken to the past. Meanwhile, he has pushed the medium forward, exploring new materials and techniques. For over three decades, Chagoya has created a rich body of work that enlivens and extends the distinguished tradition of political printmaking for a contemporary audience; this selection of over 80 works provides an unprecedented opportunity to explore his exceptional contribution to date. Sarah Kirk Hanley Elaine L. Jacob Gallery The Elaine L. Jacob Gallery features regional, national, and international artworks. The gallery invites exhibiting artists and curators to participate in the installation of work, conduct studio visits with graduate students, lecture, and provide demonstrations, all within the context of the Department of Art and Art History, Wayne State University. 1
