Mexico witnessed an exciting revival of printmaking alongside its better-known public mural program in the decades after the 1910-20 revolution. Major artists such as Jose Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Rufino Tamayo produced prints that fur-thered the social and political reforms of the revolution and helped develop a uniquely Mexican cultural identity.This groundbreaking book is the first to undertake an in-depth examination of these prints, the vital contribu-tions Mexico's printmakers made to international modern art, and their influence on coming generations of artists.
