Jose persevered and began entering his art into Mexican journals during the 1930s. In 1939. he met Vicenta Madero. who later became his wife. Together. they raised a family or five daughters and one niece. Jose became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1948. Amazingly enough. Jose Cisneros is colorblind and for many years depended on his wife. who passed away in 1994. to mix colors for him. Today. Joses daughters mix his colors. Jose prides himself in the preservation of the history of the Southwest through his work. The University of Texas System Board of Regents selected him as the 1969 laureate for the Dobie Paisano Fellowship. the first artist to ever receive the award.
