Carlos Bueno was a draftsman, painter and muralist who helped launch the Chicano art movement[1] in the 1970s as co-founder of Self-Help Graphics & Art.
Bueno was born in Cuernavaca, Mexico but lived in the United States throughout the 1970s before returning to Mexico for the final years of his life.[2] Along with his partner, the photographer Antonio Ibañez, he helped to found Los Angeles' annual Día de los Muertos/Day of the Dead celebration.[2][3]
He was largely known for his drawings and while he painted a number of murals in his lifetime, only one or two survive.[4][5] In April 2001, just months before his death, he had a solo exhibit at The Avenue 50 Studio in Highland Park.[6]
He died on August 18, 2001, in Mazatlan, Mexico.[2]
