About this work

This poster shows a person lying face-down on a table, arms stretched out like they’re being restrained. The text around them is in bold red and black, with the words "EL NAZISMO" and "EL HOMBRE EN LA SOCIEDAD NAZI" at the top. The scene looks tense, with the figure’s head turned to the side and a block under their stomach. The poster was made to advertise a talk about Nazism in Mexico City, as the text explains. The artist used simple, strong lines to make the image striking. Check out how this was made using lithography.
