Beschrijving

Tent. Zürich, Kunsthaus Zürich, 19-05-2017, 27-08-2017. - Groepstentoonstelling toont een overzicht van de Mexicaanse grafiek vanaf de 20e eeuw tot de jaren '70 uit de collectie van Armin Haab. - Graphic art has long been one of the principal expressions of popular art in Mexico. Visually striking, with bold lines and intricate details, Mexican graphic art is intensely evocative of the time and place in which it was created. Poverty and wealth, love and cruelty, and the poetry and hardships of everyday life are among the themes that emerge from the woodcut and linocut prints of Diego Rivera, Jos Guadalupe Posada, Leopoldo Méndez, and their contemporaries
