Anyone who has spent time in the Mercados and Tianguis of Mexico will instantly recognize the work of cultural icon, Jesus Helguera. Helguera's calendars gave Mexicans and Mexican Americans something to be proud of, a rich Mexican culture and history. Jesus Helguera's art has for decades been adopted as Chicano art. It is prevalent and yet not intrusive. It is powerful yet blends into the background. These cultural calendars can still be found in countless tienditas, bakeries, liquor stores, mercados and Mexican homes. Helguera commonly used his wife, Spanish born Julia Gonzales Llano as a model and inspiration for his works. Although he passed in 1971, his legacy lives throughout Mexico and the Latino community.<b> Multiple prints purchased at the same time will ship together for just $4.95!<b>
