A 37-year-old mural on the side of a Chapman University-owned apartment building on North Cypress Street — now restored under Chapman’s auspices, and considered a masterwork by a revered local artist and a treasured record of local Latino heritage — will be part of The Getty Institution’s popular Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA Southern-California-wide initiative next year. The mural, titled “El Proletariado de Aztlán” (The Proletariat of Aztlán) was created in 1979 by Emigdio Vasquez.
