"Growing up during the 1960s Chicano movement, Harry Gamboa Jr., [a Los Angeles-based artist,]
resented how Chicanos were often portrayed...His photo series Chicano Male Unbonded was his response. 'What was used in the media was
this idea of creating inferiority or guiltiness,' he says. 'But these [Chicano]
men had contributed to and saved my life.' Since 1972, Gamboa has created art in various media and
formats interpreting the contemporary urban Chicano experience...He chose people who have 'a
stance of being affirmative in their own lives,' he says. His subjects are
professors, activists, fathers, war veterans and anyone who has contributed to
his life."
