From Wikipedia:
The Taller de Gráfica Popular (Spanish: “People’s Graphic Workshop”) was a artist’s print collective founded in Mexico in 1937 by artists Leopoldo Méndez,[1] Pablo O’Higgins, and Luis Arenal. The collective was primarily concerned with using art to advance revolutionary social causes. The print shop became a base of political activity and abundant artistic output, and attracted many foreign artists as collaborators.
An extremely limited edition of only 50, TGP – El Taller de Gráfica Popular Print Collection is a must for those interested in the printmaking legacy of Mexico.
