Photography by Edward C. Robison III.
Industrialización
A member of Taller de Gráfica Popular (People’s Graphics Workshop) from 1941 to 1965, Francisco Mora created widely distributed prints and illustrations, including posters supporting labor unions. Using his characteristic thickly cut linework that produces high visual contrast, Mora depicts laborers working together as even more powerful than the industrial equipment and technological advances that assist them.
