Donated by Linda Vallejo, 2001.
Linda Vallejo is an acclaimed Chicana painter, sculptor, printmaker, and founder of Galeria Las Americas. Linda Vallejo's
personal collection, established in CEMA in 2001, represents a broad spectrum of her work and includes photographs, slides,
posters, correspondence, publications and ephemera. Vallejo was born in East Los Angeles and was a graduate of Whittier College
and also studied lithography at the University of Madrid. Vallejo received her MFA degree from California State University,
Long Beach in 1978. Born into a military family, Vallejo's father served as a colonel in the Air Force and as a diplomat and
she consequently spent much of her growing up years traveling with her family throughout the United States and Europe. At
the young age of seven, Vallejo had already determined she wanted to go to college and become an artist. In the early 1960's
Vallejo was in Montgomery, Alabama at a volatile time that the public schools were just being integrated, and the riots and
violence affected her deeply. Her work has been exhibited extensively in one-woman shows and group shows in major museums
and galleries throughout the United States, as well as Mexico. She also has been a visiting lecturer at various institutions,
including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, at UCLA, UC Irvine, California State University Long Beach, and Compton
College. Paintings and sculptures by Vallejo may be found in the permanent collections of institutions such as the Carnegie
Museum, the Santa Monica Museum, Arizona State University, and Self Help Graphics and Art. Vallejo has worked in printmaking
and sculpture but her present medium of choice is in painting. Vallejo describes herself as "an indigenous Chicana" and as
such, her work is highly symbolic and allegorical and is infused with Native American, Mexicana, and Chicana spiritual traditions.
GUIDE TO THE LINDA VALLEJO PAPERS, CEMA 76, Department of Special Collections, University Libraries, University of California,
Santa Barbara.
The Linda Vallejo Papers has seven series and consists of personal papers, correspondence, materials relating to exhibitions,
documentation of and from various organizations, photographs and slides, and publications including magazines and newspapers.
Vallejo was meticulous about maintaining documentation and records of her activities and it is reflected throughout the collection.
By cross referencing dates or titles it is possible to trace the development of gallery shows or exhibitions from initial
and ongoing correspondence located in
Series II: Correspondence through promotion such as exhibition posters, invitations and publications located in
Series III: Exhibitions to reviews and write-ups which are located in
Series V: Publications. Also, Vallejo kept many of the photographs and slides of her and her work that were used for publications purposes, as well
as those images of other artists that she used for various projects both personally and with Galeria Las Americas. These images
can be found in
Series VI: Visual Material. Even though Vallejo was careful about giving titles and dates to files and documents, extremely few materials in the
Audio Visual series contain titles or dates and have therefore been left in their original order (see series description of
Series IV: Organizations and
Series VI: Visual Material).
