Our America presents the rich and varied contributions of Latino artists in the United States since the mid-twentieth century, when the concept of a collective Latino identity began to emerge. It presents works in all media by seventy-two leading modern and contemporary artists. The exhibition is organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
