  Estampas de la Revolucion Mexicana
 

Estampas de la Revolucion Mexicana, 1947 is a portfolio of 85 linoleum cut prints published by the Taller de Grafica Popular (TGP).

Founded by Leopoldo Méndez, Luis Arenal and Pablo O’Higgins in 1937, the TGP was a collective work center that provided printmaking facilities and training in graphic techniques.  This group created multiple portfolios like the Estampas de la Revolucion Mexicana expressing antifascist sentiments.  The TGP also printed a series titled Libro Negro del Terror Nazi en Europa (Black Book of Nazi Terror in Europe), 1943.  The Black Book recounts Hitler’s actions in Europe and was printed by many of the Mexico’s German-speaking European leftist intellectuals, including Hannes Meyer.  As the former director of Bauhaus, Meyer found a safe haven in Mexico City during WWII.

The TGP’s influence spread far, including the Works Progress Administration/ Frederal Art Project (WPA/ FAP)  in the USA, in Czechoslovakia, Italy, Brazil, Ecuador and Guatemala through the founding of printing clubs and the use of printmaking as social critique.
