Graphic in Transit | Segio Sánchez SantamaríaThis volume presents the work of Mexican visual artist Sergio Sánchez Santamaría (1976), who has been working as a graphic artist for more than two decades. By examining the construction of Mexican identity via the visual arts, the book explores the contributions of major artists such as José Guadalupe Posada (1852?1913), and two generations of graphic artists of the Taller de Gráfica Popular (TGP). Sánchez Santamaría having had prominent engravers as mentors and teachers in the artistic and political side as Leo Acosta, Alberto Beltrán, and Adolfo Mexiac, as well as Leopoldo Méndez (whose presence is strongly felt in the work of Sánchez Santamaría) along with Alfredo Zalce, and Pablo O?Higgins has developed into a master himself. Special attention to the work of African American/Mexican Elizabet Catlett is also given, placing the work of Sánchez Santamaría in this historical timeline. If Posada is the ?godfather of political/modern printmaking? in Mexico, Sánchez Santamaría is the "heir that scratches" into a new generation of graphic artists of the nation.The book counts with seven wonderful collaborations and includes the largest print out of works by the artist (more than 100 original works) highlighting several moments of his oeuvre and demonstrating his range over the past twenty plus years.
