Exhibition details
Featuring original lithographs from the portfolio titled Mexican People, published by the Taller de Gráfica Popular in 1946, the exhibition provides an opportunity for visitors to consider the social and political impact of revolutionary artists in Mexico in the first decades of the twentieth century. This portfolio, published in collaboration with the Associated American Artists, focused on Mexican-American trade, particularly the Mexican labor of exports to the United States. Also included will be a selection of prints by José Guadelupe Posada to demonstrate his influence on TGP artists.
