Sadly Uruguayan printmaker Antionio Frasconi passed away earlier this month, on January 8th. Frasconi was an incredible woodblock printer that produced graphics on a variety of social issues. I was fortunate enough, many years ago, to view his The Disappeared prints at the Desaparecidos exhibition mounted at the Museo Del Barrio. The show was incredibly moving, and like many others, Frasconi’s works brought tears to my eyes.
