SFChronicle By Ryan Kost: René Yañez was born in 1942 in Tijuana. He spent his early years traveling across the border to San Diego, where he attended school, before finally immigrating with his family. Art was something René Yañez was born into; his grandfather made photographs and his father burned images of the Virgin of Guadalupe into wood.
