About the Item
David Alfaro Siqueiros’ lithograph Huyendo del Terror captures the raw force of human struggle in the face of violence and oppression. The composition conveys movement and urgency, with the figure of a woman fleeing in anguish, her body twisted in expressions of fear and desperation. Siqueiros, a leading voice of Mexican muralism, often infused his work with social and political urgency, using dynamic forms and dramatic contrasts to embody collective suffering.
Beyond its emotional intensity, Huyendo del Terror reflects Siqueiros’ lifelong commitment to addressing injustice through art. Known for blending realism with modernist experimentation, he sought to give voice to the struggles of ordinary people caught in the tides of war, repression, and displacement. This work can be read not only as a depiction of individual fear but also as a universal symbol of communities uprooted by violence.
David Alfaro Siqueiros was a leading figure in the Mexican school of great mural painters, alongside José Clemente Orozco and Diego Rivera. Siqueiros work often featured social and political subjects, and demonstrated his influences, including Francisco Goya, religious art, and Italian Futurism.

Mujer de San Felipe
Located in Palm Springs, CA
Mujer de San Felipe presents a richly colored woodcut that portrays a young woman standing in a rustic scene framed by lush foliage and architectural elements. The confident posture, stylized line work, and bold palettes align closely with Oñate’s characteristic depictions of indigenous and rural Mexican life, where he frequently blended cultural representation with modern graphic sensibility.
Francisco Rodríguez Oñate (1940–2019) was a distinguished Mexican post-war and contemporary artist whose career extended over several decades throughout Mexico, the United States, and Latin America. Born in Michoacán, he received his education at the Escuela Popular de Bellas Artes at the University of Michoacán, where he studied under esteemed artists such as Alfredo Zalce, Roberto Martínez, and Javier Arévalo...

Golden Frida
By Miguel Angel Reyes
Located in Palm Springs, CA
Screenprint of Frida Kahlo by gay Chicano artist Miguel Angel Reyes. Signed, titled and numbered edition of 14. The sheet has nicely deckled edges (see second photograph).
Miguel was born in 1964 in Colima, Mexico. One of Reyes's most vivid childhood memories is that of laying awake at night and listening to the sounds of people scurrying across his front porch as they hid in shadows and edged toward the fence, la linea, separating the U.S. from Mexico. Inevitably, Reyes's family made the trip themselves, deciding to stay in Los Angeles following one of their many “vacations (which meant going to Fresno to pick grapes for the summer). Besides Chicano cultural themes, his work also often includes homoerotic imagery.
He was drawn to art early in his life, and graduated from Oits Parsons School of Design in 1987 with a BFA in fine art. After a short sojourn into the fashion industry following graduation, Reyes pursued painting, and today makes his living doing portraits, teaching, illustrating books and taking on occasional public art project commissions.
Reyes' work incorporates expressionist brushwork and the saturated palette of the classic latin tradition. His work often incorporates homoerotic as well as Chicano themes.
His art has been exhibited throughout the United States, and has been published many magazines. Miguel has created murals for the Los Angeles MTA, and his work is in the collections of LACMA print collections, Laguna Art Museum, Watts Towers...
