DescriptionA woodcut print depicting an armed conquistador on horseback illustrates Anguiano’s move toward portraiture in the latter portion of his career following his earlier production of political murals inspired by Mexican muralists Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros. From 2001 to 2006, Anguiano taught in the Santa Ana Unified School District, suggesting that this work was likely produced in California. This print is number 54/100.
