Luchita Hurtado ([luˈt͡ʃita urˈt̪aðo]; November 28, 1920 – August 13, 2020), born Luisa Amelia García Rodriguez Hurtado, was a Venezuelan-born American painter based in Santa Monica, California, and Arroyo Seco, New Mexico. Born in Venezuela, she moved to the United States as a child. Although she became involved with art after concentrating on the subject in high school and created art over eight decades, she only received broad recognition for her art towards the end of her life. Her work has strong environmental and feminist themes that bridges many genres, bearing influence from different art movements and cultures.
