Estampa Popular de Vizcaya. La creación plástica como instrumento de acción política

Estampa Popular de Vizcaya was born in the 1960s as part of the network of anti-Franco artists Estampa Popular under the initiative of Agustín Ibarrola, María Francisca Dapena and Dionisio Blanco. All of them were committed to the fight against the dictatorship and in support of political freedom. This paper explores the work of these artists during the brief period the group was active, and analyses the prints in terms of their material aspect. This type of approach permits comprehension of the capacity of artistic creation to effect change. It also allows for the assessment of how the appreciation of a work of art is affected when it is transformed into a museum piece
