It has recently been brought to my attention that the current public art exhibit on Mexico City's Avenida Reforma is a retrospective of the late Mexican artist and journalist Abel Quezada. The exhibit features around 100 pieces, some dating from half a century ago. Yet, the striking thing to me is how relevant some of them still are today and not just for Mexico but more broadly to Latin America. Over the next few weeks, I will be posting to this blog the jpegs I am receiving that I find appropriate and relevant for our purposes. Here's the first.
Particularly worth noting, I thought, is that this was originally published in November of 1970. Equally noteworthy, look closely at the headline quote on the newspaper.
