The anthropology journal Anthropos circulated articles on art and politics. Audivert created the cover for this issue and contributed a long article on technical aspects of printmaking that features reproductions of a number of his works. Like many journals published in Mexico during the first half of the twentieth century, Anthropos was short-lived; it survived only two issues.



La revista antropológica Anthropos publicaba artículos sobre arte y política. Audivert creó la portada de este número, en el que también se incluye un largo artículo suyo sobre los aspectos técnicos del grabado con reproducciones de varias de sus obras. Como otras muchas revistas publicadas en México durante la primera mitad del siglo xx, Anthropos tuvo una vida corta y solo se publicaron dos números.
