As a member of the 1970s Chicano art collective, Los Four, Romero and fellow artists Carlos Almaraz, Beto dela Rocha and Gilbert Lujan, helped to define and promote the new awareness of La Raza through murals, publications, and exhibitions. Los Four’s historic 1974 exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art was the country’s first show of Chicano art at a major art institution. Since then, Romero has successfully balanced a career in both the public and private arenas. He has completed over 15 murals throughout the city, and was a key contributor to the 1984 Olympic Arts Festival with “Going to the Olympics,” a large scale mural which adorns one of Los Angeles’ busiest freeways (Highway 101).
