Words and painting meet on the television screen to deliver an enriching vision of the painter José Maria Velasco, a great but little known portraitist, Hermenegildo Bustos, and José Guadalupe Posada, the engraver. Octavio Paz illuminates the creations of these masters of the nineteenth century. Posada's engravings, executed for the press, captured and caricatured the personalities and political and social events of his day in a style somewhere between eighteenth-century political cartoons and Germanic Expressionism of the twentieth century.
