Kosiba-Vargas, Zaneta. "Harry Gamoa and ASCO: The Emergence and Development of a Chicano Art Group, 1971-1987," University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, August 1988. Advisor: William Alexander (23, 8, 2)
This dissertation is an interdisciplinary study of the East Los Angeles Chicano Art Group ASCO. It examines the historical context of the group’s emergence in the early 1970s, chronicles its artistic maturation as an integral part of the Chicano avant-garde, and analyzes its contributions to aesthetic change in both Chicano and American art. ASCO was part of an ideological minority which defined a new set of artistic codes and values through which new conceptions of Chicano art and culture would be mediated. The basis of the study is original materials comprised of photographs, slides, and videotapes of the group’s art, oral histories, and correspondence.
