Poster celebrating the twentieth anniversary of Taller de Gráfica Popular
This poster was created by a printmaking workshop in Chiapas—a state in the south of Mexico—to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the Taller de Gráfica Popular, the left-wing printmaking collective founded in Mexico City in 1937. It shows a person examining a linocut originally created in 1948 by the artist Ignacio Aguirre that depicts Emiliano Zapata, a hero of the Mexican Revolution.
