José Esquivel (June 10, 1935 – December 12, 2022), a Chicano artist and commercial artist based in San Antonio, Texas, has been called "one of the earliest and most important Chicano artists in Texas." He is best known for his depictions of life in Chicano barrios. Esquivel also spent a lengthy period as a wildlife artist between 1973 and 1991, when he withdrew from Chicano art due to its association with radicalism. As a commercial artist, Esquivel worked primarily for City Public Service, San Antonio’s public utility company. By the time he retired in 1987, he was the supervisor of the art department. His best and most influential work was connected to the Chicano Movement, and it is included in a number of prominent collections. Esquivel was also a co-founder of the San Antonio-based Con Safo art group, which was one of the earliest and most important Chicano art groups in the country.
