José Luis Cuevas was a Mexican painter, draftsman, writer, engraver, sculptor and illustrator. Although the biography on his personal site indicates the date of 1934, his older brother, the doctor and psychoanalyst Alberto Cuevas Novelo, states that he was actually born in the year 1931. He was known as the "terrible boy" of painting in Mexico, and also had the nickname of Gato Macho.
This wonderful color lithograph was dedicated to Ernest de Soto, a master American printmaker, who established and directed his own printing workshop, the de Soto Workshop, from 1975 to 1993. De Soto was the first Hispanic Master Printer in the United States and was the first American print maker to establish an international relationship with Mexican artists and had a lasting impact on printing in the United States.
In 1972, de Soto became a partner with José Luis Cuevas in Edition’s Press, located at 915 Bryant Street in San Francisco." (Wikipedia)
"A bon tirer" can be translated as "A good pull", or "good to go", indicating that this is the print the artist decided was the one to which all the others would be compared. The edition of this print was 100.

This print was signed and dated in 1960, but not numbered; prints were also pulled from this block in the 1970s, so it must have been one of more popular images. One of his students has written, “As time progressed further, the postwar era saw improvements in nutrition, and children became taller and heavier than in the past, but their lack of physical exercise and severely inferior physical abilities became a social problem; this is ironically depicted in Big Boys.” In 1963, Kinoshita told him that he had just finished pulling a print of this image in response to a request from Unichi Hiratsuka...Category
