Yolanda López (1942-2021) was an artist, activist, and educator celebrated for her role in the Chicano civil rights movement and for her iconic Guadalupe series. With her exuberant Portrait of the Artist as the Virgin of Guadalupe, López produced one of earliest feminist transformations of the figure and inspired subsequent generations of Chicano/a/x artists and thinkers.
