Drawn primarily from LACMA’s collection, Pressing Politics: Revolutionary Graphics from Mexico and Germany underscores the enduring power of the printed image and highlights the contributions of Mexican and German artists to a global iconography of political graphics.
Visit MacArthur Park on Saturday, June 10, to see the exhibition, create your own prints at the Printmaking Taller: Activist Graphics and watch a two-part film series about this era.
