1930–2012 · Puerto Rican-American

Frank Diaz Escalet was a Puerto Rican-American artist associated with Latino modernism. Across Painting; printmaking, the work investigates urban life, labor and Puerto Rican identity addressed through socially engaged figurative image-making. Meaning develops through the relationship between process, display and lived cultural experience rather than through a single signature motif.
