Street Meeting 1943

"Street Meeting," a 1943 woodcut by Mexican artist Leopoldo Méndez, depicts a crowd of figures gathered around a central figure who raises a clenched fist in the air. Méndez, known for his social realist style and political activism, uses a powerful composition and stark contrasts in light and shadow to convey a sense of urgency and protest. The image evokes a sense of solidarity and collective action, reflecting the social and political upheavals of the era.
