Abstract:
A largely self-taught artist who produced more than 20,000 prints, his most well-known pieces for the publisher Antonio Vanegas
Arroyo in Mexico City. Most were illustrated broadsides on brightly colored paper and sold by strolling vendors throughout
Mexico. Posada influenced the 20th-century Mexican muralists, for whom he was the quintessentially Mexican populist artist.
Collection includes newspapers, chapbooks, half-sheet and full-sheet broadsides, all of which are illustrated with Posada's
prints.
