Puerto Rican artists from the 1950’s to the mid 80’s created iconic posters by using printmaking techniques. This era produced artists like Rafael Tufiño, Lorenzo Homar, Antonio Maldonado, Isabel Bernal, and Antonio Martorell among many others. Printmaking is the technique of creating art by hand and by the artist who creates it. Artists create prints using woodcuts, linoleum cuts, silk-screening, and other hand driven methods.
The posters they created promoted festivals, government programs and most of all fostered a genuinely Puerto Rican cultural identity. Today the printmaking technique also includes solar plate, monoprints (the process of creating individual prints using printing plates) and collagraph.
Please enjoy and support this virtual exhibition by printmakers, members of PRIDA, as we pay homage to these artists with our own prints.
If you are interested in purchasing and supporting the artists please contact them directly. All the proceeds from sales go entirely to the artists, PRIDA does not get a percentage.
