Para la Gente: Art, Politics, and Cultural Identity
of the Taller de Gráfica Popular
Selected Works from the Charles S. Hayes Collection
of Twentieth-Century Mexican Graphics
O'Shaughnessy Galleries II and III
July 12-September 13, 2009
|
The forty images selected for this exhibiion are drawn from the Charles S. Hayes Collection and survey the work by the Taller de Gráfica Popular, a workshop of politically engaged artists working in Mexico City from 1937 until about 1953, when they informally disbanded and were drawn into other programs, organizations or individual projects.
These artists worked in a period of immense political change as well as rich artistic activity. Their work reflects the issues of post revolutionary Mexico's political and social upheaval. The political posters, broadsides, books, and political announcements created illustrate the TGP's direct and powerful style as well as their deep commitment and response to the agenda of political reforms that were part of the Cárdenista government in Mexico at that time. Their depictions and representations of workers and farmers, and the social struggles of the people mark the TGP as important revolutionary agents in their own right
Copies of the illustrated exhibition catalogue will be available to current Friends of the Snite Museum at the $55 level or above, or those who join or upgrade to the $55 level or above. You can contact the Friends Office at (574) 631-5516.

Thin is a traveling exhibition of fifty-three color photographs organized by The Women's Museum, Dallas, and Greenfield/Evers LLC. It focuses on the complex, appearance-based eating disorders of young women receiving treatment for life-threatening weight-loss level at a Florida residential facility. The images convey “body image fixation” extremes. |
