This is a black-and-white print of children and statues in a field beneath a picture of the sun. The field is surrounded by a fence and there are people bent over in the background. There are stone statues scattered throughout the field and children facing the viewer towards the front of the composition. “Los Niños También Sufren” and “22/30” and the artist’s signature are below the print.
A landscape shows a garish sky with maintain-like shapes at bottom. Flame-shape form extends from the top right.
Polychrome (orange and purple) in squiggly abstract form applied to center of paper
Lithograph depicting an African American man in the foreground, wrists bound behind his back, on his knees, peering out toward the viewer. In the background, a sheriff stands with arms crossed, looking in the direction of the man. Cactus plants appear in the background, insinuating the scene takes place in a desert. Residual ink from the printer's plate, wiped in a swirling motion, surrounds the figure in the foreground, emphasizing his presence. The title of the print,"La Frontera," appears on the bottom right corner.
