Title A name given to the resource Braceros Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ulloa, Domingo Subject The topic of the resource Architecture Exterior — detail — fence Dress — accessory — hat Occupation — labor Mexican Figure group — male Description An account of the resource Domingo Ulloa's crowd of seasonal laborers, who peer dejectedly through a barbed-wire fence, reinforced mounting public protest against their poor living and working conditions in the 1960s. The artist painted this canvas after several visits to a bracero camp in Holtville, California. The Bracero Program (1942--64) was a binational effort that brought Mexican guest workers, known as braceros, to fill in agricultural labor shortages caused by World War II. The painting's composition recalls photographs of concentration camp inmates, with which Ulloa--a World War II veteran--was familiar. Ulloa later stated, "Most of my paintings are inspired by the common people in their work, in their joy, and their struggle."
