The artist's print has played a major role in twentieth century Mexican art. For such contemporary masters as José Luis Cuevas and Francisco Toledo, printmaking is their principal medium of artistic expression. In the work of the painters José Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros and Rufino Tamayo the vibration of color fused with the oscillation of light and shadow into one immutable and incorruptible unit.
The Mexican artists born during and after the decade of the '20s benefited from both the rich graphic and the color legacies left to them by their artistic forefathers.
For decades, lithography in Mexico obeyed the authorities and not the needs of the artists. By the time KYRON was founded in Mexico City in 1972, Mexican artists were well adept in large-scale, color lithography. KYRON's contribution to Mexican art, therefore, was to bring the resources of European and American ateliers to Mexico.
