Reviews

"""Caplow presents a valuable survey of Mendez's career, with nine chapters following the artist from his formation at the Academy of San Carlos in Mexico City to the last works executed before his death in 1969...offers many hitherto unpublished insights into Mendez's career and TGP operations...the book is richly illustrated. Its journalistic writing style, periodically punctuated by romantic defences of the artist, is easily accessible for all audiences...Caplow's book makes a valuable contribution to the scholarship on Mexican printmaking."" Kelly Donahue-Wallace, Print Quarterly, XXV, 2008"
