Carlos Bueno, a draftsman, painter and muralist who helped launch the Chicano art movement in the 1970s as co-founder of an important East Los Angeles art center, died of heart failure Aug. 18 in Mazatlan, Mexico. He was 60.

He joined Sister Karen Boccalero and photographer Antonio Ibanez in starting a community art project in 1971 that evolved into Self-Help Graphics, the Eastside institution that has nurtured such notable artists as Gronk and Pattsi Valdez.

Bueno encouraged Self-Help Graphics to sponsor the first Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, celebration in Los Angeles in 1972. Three decades later, the holiday, which has roots in pre-Columbian Mexico, has blossomed into an annual cultural event rivaling Halloween that has inspired art, music and poetry and has become a source of cultural pride.

“He bridged that whole idea, the connection between Mexico and Chicanos here,” said Kathy Gallegos, owner of Avenue 50 Studio in Highland Park, which in April hosted Bueno’s last solo show. “What he did was influence artists to look back to their roots in Mexico to find inspiration. That is the root of the Chicano movement.”

Bueno was not well known in the United States, although recent gallery shows were beginning to revive interest in his work. Born in Cuernavaca, he spent the 1970s in Los Angeles but returned to Mexico about 20 years ago.
