Alfredo Zalce y Leopoldo Méndez
Alfredo Zalce Torres (12 January 1908 – 19 January 2003) was a Mexican artist and contemporary of Diego Rivera, David Siqueiros and other better-known muralists. He worked principally as a painter, sculptor, and engraver, also taught, and was involved in the foundation of a number of institutions of culture and education. He is perhaps best known for his mural painting, typically imbued with "fervent social criticism". He is acclaimed as the first artist to borrow the traditional material of coloured cement as the medium for a "modern work of art". Publicity-shy, he is said to have turned down Mexico's Premio Nacional de Ciencias y Artes before finally accepting it in 2001.Before his death, Sotheby's described him as "the most important living Mexican artist up to date".

Zalce nos ofrece en esta obra una trama de lo no concluido dentro de los lineamientos dictados por la Revolución Mexicana mismos que fueron impulsados por Vasconcelos dentro de su proyecto de la Maestra Rural , a 100 años esta figura seguirá pendiente
Maravillosas imágenes graficas dentro del proyecto que dedicara a 140 estampas el TGP
Y que hoy podemos admirar en esta exposición que si bien inicio con el proyecto de los de abajo
Hoy se extiende a las diferentes formas de expresión de toda una época de la grafica nacionalista
Indudablemente no hay TGP sin la imagen lograda por Leopoldo Méndez reflejando la imaginaria de uno de los maestros legendario José Guadalupe Posada , que en su obra inmortalizo la trasformación del XIX a el XX
Existe una intemporalidad de la imagen del bracero que a manera de jugarse un futuro cursa la frontera de manera clandestina en busca de un trabajo , de nuevo la idea lograda hace mas de cinco décadas sigue como una constante
