In the years just after World War II, Jules Heller — a printmaker at UCLA — suggested that Stan's brother Seymour make the trip to Mexico City to work with the Taller de Gráfica Popular. Seymour brought Stan along. Stan was 23, at the very start of his career. The TGP was a collective where printmaking served social justice, anti-fascism, and the lives of ordinary people. The influence never left him. Seymour's lithographs from that time appear at the bottom of this page.
