Sergio Sánchez Santamaría is the heir to the famous Taller de Gráfica Popular (TGP) in México. In the land of José Guadalupe Posada, Sánchez Santamaría carries on.
GRAPHIC IN TRANSIT response to the question of how to sustain and actualize such a legacy in times in which art has moved away from image production and the socially engaging ways of the past.
This volume presents the work of Sánchez Santamaría in a historical and critical context, next to some of the most important exponents of graphic art in Mexico and the U.S., among then Leopoldo López and Elizabeth Catlett.
Texts produced for the book by art critics, collectors, and fellow artists demonstrate the power of Sánchez Santamaría’s art. Sergio Sánchez is a prolific producer of images, this book counts with some of the most relevant of his over two and a half decades of work.
