content: Aimée Brown Price (1939- ) is an American art historian based in New York City. Price met Almaraz while she was teaching at Otis Art Institute of Los Angeles County (now Otis College of Art and Design), where he was a student. She and her husband Monroe Price collected works by Almaraz, and Monroe provided pro bono legal representation to Almaraz and Los Four in their 1974 dispute with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Carlos Almaraz (1941-1989) was a painter and muralist in Los Angeles, California. Almaraz was born in Mexico City, moved to Chicago in 1942, and settled in Los Angeles in 1949. He studied at California State College, the Otis Art Institute, and the University of California in Los Angeles. He moved to New York City in 1965, where he studied at the Art Students League and New School of Social Research. In 1970, Almaraz returned to Los Angeles. He became active with mural painting within the Mexican American community in Los Angeles. Along with Gilbert Lujan, Beto de la Rocha, and Frank Romero, Almaraz founded the artist collective Los Four. In the late 1980s, Almaraz was diagnosed with AIDS, and he died from complications of the disease in 1989.
