Vincent Valdez discusses the inspiration behind his exhibition "The City" at the Blanton, which includes a large-scale painting of the KKK. A Mexican-American artist from San Antonio, Valdez explains his process for creating this powerful work that explores racism, one of the most persistent and challenging social issues of our day. Organized by Veronica Roberts, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Blanton Museum of Art. "The City" was acquired for the Blanton’s permanent collection with support from Guillermo C. Nicolas and James C. Foster in honor of Jeanne and Michael Klein, with additional support from Jeanne and Michael Klein and Ellen Susman in honor of Jeanne and Michael Klein.
