United States. Rich in historical, social and artistic content, ‘Vida y Arte’ offers wonderful opportunities for co-programming.” Michael Ricker, from whose collection the works come, added, “Founded in 1937, El Taller de Gráfica Popular was perhaps the most prominent, prolific and political workshop in world history. From the expropriation of foreign oil interests and the support and protection of rural teach to fervent anti-fascist efforts and the promotion of civil rights, they addressed all the prominent issues of their day. For decades, the workshop poured out a relentless stream of posters, flyers, portfolios, prints, hilarious Day of the Dead newspapers, fine books and simple pamphlets. The workshop’s membership included many of Mexico’s finest and best-recognized artists. While virtually all were printmakers, they were also muralists, painters, sculptors and draftsmen. They were not los Tres Grandes (the Big Three [muralists Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siquieros and José Clemente Orozco]); they were los otros (the others), los trabajadores (the workers), working for what they believed and placing their nation and its people before themselves.” Wednesday, April 1, 2015 Museum Information: Partial support for the exhibition and programs at the Georgia Museum of Art is provided by the Georgia Council for the Arts through appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly.
