This remarkable volume, “Cosmic: The La Raza Sketch Book” by Ruben Dario Salaz, is a testament to the vibrant Chicano art movement of the 1970s.

Salaz’s bold lines and unapologetic imagery reflect the struggles and aspirations of a generation yearning for representation and empowerment. Beyond its artistic merits, this book holds historical significance as a window into the pivotal era when Chicano artists found their voice and paved the way for future generations to embrace their cultural heritage with pride.
