Estampas Collection

Estampas de la Revolución Mexicana is a series of 84 linoleum block prints donated to the Bakersfield Museum of Art by the Clark Foundation for Mexican Folk Art in 2012. The 11” x 16” prints were created by over a dozen artists working in the mid-20th century.

The 84 linoleum block prints portray important episodes of the Mexican Revolution by 16 artists from the Taller de Gráfica Popular (People’s Graphic Workshop or TGP).

A Traveling Exhibition

The Estampas Collection tells powerful stories from a unique perspective, stories that leverage art as a means of social change. The collection provides a view of the world through a cultural lens. As countless exhibitions from underrepresented artists have shown, viewing the world from another perspective empowers both artist and viewer.
