    Contributors: Kristian Jaime Kimberly Olguin 1O1 MOST INFLUENTIAL LATINOS As usual, these are not all of the leaders, but those in the list are all leaders. Fantastic leaders with a diverse activity, all of them advancing Latinos all over the country and all across industries and professions. All of the leaders included have proven an actual influence on the national scene, not only for the Hispanic community but for the entire country. From lawyers to cabinet members, from media personalities to powerful business figures, this list is a snap shot of the power and influence of Latinos in the US today. Newcomers, like Lin-Manuel Miranda, who has a powerful voice in the entertainment industry, or Agustin Arteaga, the only Latino with the title of Director at one of the most important museums of art in the country, or Andre Arbelaez, who may be the most respected voice for Latinos in the hi-tech industry, make this list a very special one. 1O1 We hope you enjoy reading who they are, where they live, what has been their professional path and even contact them, for these are the leaders forging the future of America. 001 R • Mexican-American 2017 Ruben Salazar Award Alcaraz is best known for his comic La Cucaracha, the first nation- • 1964 in San Diego, CA for Communication at National ally syndicated, politically themed Latino daily comic strip.

  • PRESS RELEASE WAYNE THIEBAUD at MUSEO
    PRESS RELEASE WAYNE THIEBAUD at MUSEO MORANDI Curated by Alessia Masi with Carla Crawford March 4th – October 2nd, 2011 Opening: March 3rd, 6.30 pm The Morandi Museum in Bologna carries on its program of tracing connections between Morandi’s oeuvre and that of some of the greatest contemporary artists, after the 2005 homage to Josef Albers and the wide- ranging Bernd and Hilla Becher exhibition in 2009. From March 4th to October 2nd, 2011, the works of world-famous American artist Wayne Thiebaud will enter the museum’s main rooms alongside Morandi’s oeuvre, establishing a dialogue meant to underline both their similarities and differences, beyond the immediately evident serial and chromatic aspects. Wayne Thiebaud, born in Arizona in 1920, is considered a key figure in contemporary American art. Often associated to Pop Art, Thiebaud has nonetheless always refused to be ascribed to any artistic movement, just like Morandi. If, on the one hand, his subjects of choice seem to bring him close to Pop artists – symbols of consumer culture such as candy, sweets, chewing gum, hot gods, cosmetics, toys – on the other hand the absence of both critique and celebration of American culture, the technical research, the slow, materic, grainy brushstrokes, the attention to perspective and formal, geometrical aspects of composition used to depict the soul of those objects set Thiebaud far apart from the mechanical, impersonal clichés of Pop painting in general. This attention to painting as a discipline, in particular – Thiebaud always referred to himself as a “painter” rather than an artist – is what Thiebaud and Giorgio Morandi share with other key figures such as Chardin and Edward Hopper.
