Tribute edition to Arturo García Bustos (1926-2017) comprising a selection of more than 110 prints, including lithographs, woodcuts and linoleum, as well as etchings and aquatints made between 1943 and 2017. García Bustos was one of the four favorite students of Frida Kahlo known as "Los Fridos" and the youngest member of Taller de Gráfica Popular, the most relevant Mexican art collective of the 20th century. The editorial project also highlights the work he carried out together with his wife, painter Rina Lazo Wasem (Guatemala 1923) in favor of political activism during the government of Jacobo Árbenz in Guatemala, and how his engravings were the maximum expression of art at the service of social and political movements in Mexico, Guatemala and Cuba. Almost all art works are part of the private collection of Rina Lazo and Lina García Lazo. Includes eleven collectible engravings.
