Alfonso X. Pena (1903-1964) a native of Tamaulipas, was born in Ciudad Victoria to an artistic family. He started as a cartoonist for El Mundo in Tampico, then left his hometown in search of better opportunities and moved to New York. He belonged to a group of artists comprising Rufino Tamayo, José Juan Tablada, Matías Santoyo and Miguel Covarrubias, among others. During that time, he improved his drawing technique and use of color. When Alfonso came back to Mexico, he set up a workshop in Pescaditos in Mexico City, where he produced extremely creative works.

- William Gropper Important New York Artist and Caricaturist Painting, "Mug-Wump"By William GropperLocated in Phoenix, AZPolitically charged oil on canvas by Depression Era New York artist William Gropper. Painting measures: 20" H x 16" W. Frame measures: 24" H x 20" W. Signed lower right and in excellent condition. Created circa 1930s. Titled on the verso “Mug-Wump”. Provenance: Two Gallery Labels seen on the verso; Heritage Gallery, L.A. & Rowe Gallery, San Francisco. A mugwump was known as a person who remained independent (as in politics), one who remained undecided or neutral, not taking a definitive side. One whose “mug” was on one side of the fence and whose “wump” was on the other, so to speak. New-York born artist William Gropper (1897-1977) was a painter and cartoonist who, with caricature style, focused on social concerns. During the 1930s, working as a part of the Federal Arts Project, he produced some of the most gripping social protest works of the Great Depression. Subjects included industrial strikes, especially in the coal mining and steel-production centers. He did much illustration-cartoon work for the New York Tribune newspaper, Vanity Fair magazine and the politically 'left-wing' publication, "New Masses." Some of his other pieces focused on the hypocrisy of government figures, especially members of the United States Senate...Category
