This is a fine print reproduction of an important and stylistically captivating poster by Xavier Viramontes titled "Boycott Grapes," created to support the United Farm Workers (UFW) union in advocating for better working conditions and fair wages for farmworkers, many of whom were Mexican-American and Filipino-American laborers working in harsh conditions in the fields of California.
The poster features an Aztec-like figure surrounded by a radiant, sun-like halo, representing strength, resilience, and the agricultural roots of the farmworker community. With an expression of determination, the figure is seen gripping bunches of grapes juices bleed from his clenched fists. The work is highly colorful, with vibrant reds, yellows, and blues, drawing attention and symbolizing both urgency and pride. The UFW’s iconic eagle logo appears on each side of the text that reads "Support the United Farm Workers Union."
The "Boycott Grapes" poster was part of a larger social and political movement during the 1960s and 1970s in the United States to improve the lives of agricultural workers. The Delano Grape Strike, which began in 1965 and lasted for several years, was a pivotal event that eventually led to national consumer boycotts.
