Celebrated San Antonio visual artist Angel Rodríguez-Díaz has died at age 67

by Sanford Nowlin

Angel Rodríguez-Díaz, a San Antonio artist celebrated both for his politically charged portrait work and his towering public sculptures, died last Friday at age 67, according to Texas Public Radio. Rodríguez-Díaz frequently starred in his own portraits, which commented on issues ranging from colonialism and sexual identity to war and the environment. In one of his best-known works, Chupacabra, he depicted himself as the titular creature, suggesting that U.S. Latinos are viewed as exotic outsiders by the larger society.
