The portfolio's title, LA HUELLA MAGISTRAL: HOMAGE TO MASTER PRINTMAKERS reveals the generous purpose of the participating artists: to honor their teachers- master printmakers who taught, mentored, or inspired them. These artists share moral values and social ideas with those who inspired them: the defense of poor and oppressed peoples, solidarity with workers, a commitment to public education. They are cultural activists whose work champions ethical principles they have struggle to uphold, individually and collectively, through their professional careers.
