Leopoldo Méndez, born in 1902, was a significant Mexican graphic artist known for his engravings supporting political and social causes like the Mexican Revolution and opposing Fascism. Despite his importance in 20th-century art and politics, he remained relatively unknown during his lifetime due to his collaborative and selfless approach, focusing on societal good over personal gain. His socialist and communist themes fell out of favor in later years, but he has received posthumous recognition as the successor to José Guadalupe Posada in Mexican graphic art. Méndez's work was closely tied to organizations like the Liga de Escritores y Artistas Revolucionarios and the Taller de Gráfica Popular. His legacy endures through his impactful propaganda art and his dedication to using art for social change rather than personal acclaim.

I’m no fine art snob but this looks like it’s powered by a keyword search result.
Not sure if you can do that on the website.
Also, in case someone wants to give me crap, If someone gave me traffic numbers and such so that I know what to expect, I would absolutely be willing to mirror this provided I can find it, and unlike Google, for me, fund != profit. If you work at Google and are confused, please just do a search on Duck Duck Go for the Google graveyard and find a sane job after you realize your current job will end soon.
