This bilingual catalog from the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco offers a comprehensive look at the printmaking and poster work of Rupert Garcia, a pioneering Chicano artist and activist. Published in 1992, it spans over two decades of Garcia’s career, from 1967 to 1990, capturing the vibrant and socially conscious art that emerged from the Chicano Movement of the 1960s and 70s. Garcia’s bold, graphic style and use of bright colors reflect the influence of Mexican folk art and the muralist tradition, while his subject matter often confronts issues of labor rights, social justice, and cultural identity. With over 100 reproductions of his powerful and provocative prints and posters, this volume provides valuable insights into a significant yet underrepresented facet of 20th-century American art. Despite its well-worn cover, this copy remains a readable testament to Garcia’s enduring artistic legacy and the vital role of printmaking in amplifying the voices of marginalized communities.
