A magnet featuring Grabados Mexicanos del Taller de Gráfica Popular (Mexican Prints from the People’s Graphic Workshop), 1958, by Lorenzo Homar.
The Taller de Gráfica Popular (Popular Graphic Workshop, TGP) was a printmaking collective founded in Mexico City in 1937 by artists Leopoldo Méndez, Pablo O’Higgins, and Luis Arenal. Their aim was to use art to fight fascism and advance revolutionary social causes.
In this poster, Homar uses the figure of the calavera (a skeletal representation of the human form, often associated with the Day of the Dead) from Mexican popular culture. The motif frequently appears in TGP prints.
