Representing one of the main areas of focus of El Museo’s permanent collection, this section emphasizes artworks that use graphic reproducibility to put images and social messages into mass circulation. The section includes 16th century illustrations about the Americas produced for European audiences; linocuts created in Mexico and Puerto Rico between the 1930s and 1950s; serigraphs and posters created during the 1970s Nuyorican art movement; text-based installations and conceptual works; as well as artworks that expand beyond the printed page.
