Omar Granados’ 1978 screenprint shows a single clenched fist breaking through a jagged border of newspaper clippings and typed text. The ink is flat black on rough cardboard, the fist pressing forward like a protest sign. The print was made for a series called “I Persist” that turned everyday trash into art. Granados wanted the viewer to feel the hand’s effort and the paper’s weight at once. Look up Omar Granados next when you’re at the museum.
