Printmaking

Alfredo Zalce was a Mexican painter and printmaker active from the 1930s onward, working in a figurative style grounded in social realism and Mexican political art. His practice encompassed mural painting, easel works, and woodcuts that engaged with themes of labor, indigenous culture, and national identity. Zalce remained committed to accessible, publicly oriented forms throughout a long career spanning the postwar period and beyond.
