Francisco Toledo, otherwise known as El Maestro, was considered Mexico's greatest living artist before his death in 2019. A key figure in Mexican art and Oaxacan cultural preservation, Toledo was a printmaker, painter, collagist, tapestry maker, and ceramicist who challenged nationalistic styles alongside a band of artists called "la Ruptura." Toledo frequently referenced Zapotec and pre-Columbian imagery in his work, drawing from Shamanism, folklore, and animism to create depth of meaning. This exhibition features 53 of Toledo's lithographs, etchings, and woodcuts.
The exhibition will be on display in gallery and can also be viewed online.
