Late Night at the FIA: Mexicanidad Tour

Considered the most influential and progressive printmaking collective of its time, the Taller de Graficá Popular (TGP) was established in Mexico City in 1937. Following in the footsteps of José Posada, Los Tres Grandes, and other political artists such as Francisco Goya and Honoré Daumier, the artists of the TGP used the medium of printmaking to address social and political issues as well as to explore their cultural heritage and create a Mexican identity known as Mexicanidad. In 1946, the portfolio Mexican People was published, featuring 12 prints from artists of the TGP. This exhibition examines the history of the TGP, the portfolio, and their messages.
