Emiliano Zapata

1960
Not on view
In this portrait, created in 1960, Zapata fills the entire sheet and gazes directly at the viewer with a confronting expression that reflects his commitment and determination. Long after his death, in 1919, Zapata’s reputation as a revolutionary hero inspired artists and activists across Mexico.
