His interest in art was evident as early as grade school where he would replicate comic book styles to create his own comics based on stories his father told about the Mexican Revolution.{{Citation needed|date=September 2018}} Emigdio earned an Associate of Arts degree from Santa Ana College; and he transferred to California State University, Fullerton, where he received his Bachelor of Arts and a Master's Degree in Fine Arts.[3] In 1979, for his Master's Degree thesis project, Emigdio painted an 85-foot long mural as a tribute to the Chicano working class - complete with figures modeled after his father as a miner and other relatives and friends as field workers and laborers. WorkVasquez painted over 30 public murals in central Orange County, California[4] and over 400 fine art paintings.{{Citation needed|date=September 2018}} The most recognized mural of Emigdio’s is the "Legacy of Cesar Chavez," which is located in the lobby of the Cesar Chavez Business and Computer Center in Santa Ana College. Some of Emigdio’s favorite subjects were the subculture of Chicanos and Mexican-Americans including zoot suits and Pachucos, as well as street people and day laborers that reflected a time in history presented in his narrative style. He also enjoyed still life and landscape painting, as well as portraits of historical figures. His diversity of subject matter and style place him in a select class of artists that transcends the traditional "pigeon hole" description that most artists are assigned. Emigdio drew upon and transformed photographs and his plain air paintings into a body of work that documented and commented on the daily life of working people in the Barrio. With painstaking skills, he recorded the urban experience without sentimentality and with dignity, neither glorifying nor criticizing. His work is often recognized as a ‘super-realistic’ style, with historical transitions and themes. In 1996, he received an artist fellowship from the Adolph and Ester Gottlieb Foundation in New York.{{Citation needed|date=September 2018}} TeachingVasquez taught in the art department at Santa Ana College, and managed major public arts programs for the Bowers Museum, California Arts Council, and the City of Santa Ana - including creating a 65-foot mural at the Orange County Transportation Center in Santa Ana. Personal lifeHe was previously married to Rosie Lopez Schelerth.[5] Vasquez is the father of six children. His son, Emigdio "Higgy" Vasquez Jr. has apprenticed and assisted his father on many mural projects, including restoring and re-creating murals in their original style.[1] Father and son were both recognized by the Getty Museum with the exhibition, "Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA" during 2017-2018.[6][7] He also has a daughter, Rosemary Vasquez Tuthill that is a muralist.[8] Death and legacyVasquez died from pneumonia on August 9, 2014 in Newport Beach, California. He was 75 years old.[9][10] Several groups recognized Emigdio for his contributions to art and culture. Including, in 2004, Emigdio was inducted into Santa Ana College Alumni Hall of Fame; in 2007, Cal State Fullerton University recognized Emigdio as one of the 50 most influential Hispanic graduates from its 50 years of existence; and, on May 25, 2013, his birthday, the city of Santa Ana Proclaimed that day as Emigdio Vasquez Day.{{Citation needed|date=September 2018}} His ex-wife, Rosie Lopez Schelerth, had written much about Vasquez's early life and their marriage in her autobiography Hi! My Name is Chicken.[5] The Cypress St. Mural Restoration: "El Proletariado de Atzlan" documentary about Vasquez,[11] was produced and directed by Katherine Bowers for Chapman University.[12] The documentary is about restoring the Cypress St. Mural by son Higgy and includes the story of the life and times of Emigdio Vasquez, his journey from his birthplace in Jerome, Arizona to Orange, California and where Vasquez's early interest in drawing led to a lifetime of fine art painting.
