Untitled (This Poster is the Story of Change … ) 1973

Carlos Almaraz's 1973 work, "Untitled (This Poster is the Story of Change … )" is a graphic and dynamic piece that uses a grid-like format to portray a narrative of social change. The artwork is composed of a series of individual panels, each containing a stylized drawing depicting figures, objects, and scenes related to the social and political landscape of the time. The bold black lines and stark contrast create a sense of urgency and immediacy, reflecting the turbulent atmosphere of the 1970s. The piece's title, "This Poster is the Story of Change...", suggests a commentary on the evolving dynamics of society, with the use of fragmented imagery evoking themes of revolution, progress, and societal shifts. The work encapsulates the spirit of social activism that characterized the era, and Almaraz's unique visual language and style make it a poignant example of Chicano art and the power of graphic design to convey complex social commentary.
