Presented in the following pages is a selection of text and images from this 1949 bi-lingual record of the first 12 years of an exceptional graphic cooperative workshop. The TGP artists were born into and grew up under the influence of what would become the 20th century chapter of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1940). Michael Ricker's essay is a good introduction to the development of the TGP in its historical and cultural context, with descriptions of the printed broadsides and posters (volantes and carteles) through which the TGP communicated its political and social commentary. Selecting the TGP logo on any page will return you to this page. You can also navigate using the arrows. Information from the TGP album on artists in the list below for whom no links currently exist, will be made available at a later date. | |
