Leopoldo Mendez was born in Mexico City, Mexico in 1902. Mendez was a printmaker and activist in political and artistic groups. Mendez was a founding member and leader of the Taller de Gráfica Popular (Popular Graphic Arts Workshop) in Mexico.
As a student, Mendez learned to use printmaking techniques to communicate his ideas. Mendez is most known for his woodblock prints, sometimes integrated with text. In addition to prints, Mendez created many murals, which effectively portrayed his views to the public. Many of his murals were later destroyed.
The art of Mendez was not to be an idealized or utopian view of the past, neither was it Mendez’s dream of the future. Mendez was interested in raising awareness about present injustices and social causes.
Mendez’s prints confronted political issues, such as the Mexican Revolution, Fascism in Europe, socialized education and injustices provoked by capitalism. Mendez is one of the great Mexican artists of the twentieth century. Mendez was a master oh the graphic arts, creating incredibly strong images. Do you think you own a Leopoldo Mendez? Contact us.
