Untitled is a 1940 ink by Alfredo Zalce, depicting Crowd, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a crowd of shoeshine workers marching down a street, fists raised, signs in hand. Zalce made this print in 1940 with a group called Taller de Gráfica Popular. They were artists who believed prints could reach everyday people, not just collectors. The lines are bold and simple—no shading, just shapes that read fast, like a protest poster should. The workers aren’t individuals; they’re one force, moving together. Look up the technique: lithography.
Alfredo Zalce Torres (12 January 1908 – 19 January 2003) was a Mexican artist and contemporary of Diego Rivera, David Siqueiros and other better-known muralists.
