For almost 25 years, South Texas businessman Joe A. Diaz has collected contemporary art created by American artists with roots in Hispanic culture. This exhibition brings together more than 70 paintings, prints, drawings, and sculptures that are primarily narrative in content and address a wide range of political, social, and autobiographical issues. From the gentle portraits of Gloria Osuna Perez to the political statements of Alfred J. Quiroz, Diaz believes that all of the works in his collection are “powerful, thoughtful, and really hot!”
