The title "Hunger #1" marks this as the first in a numbered series, and the record identifies it as a single woodcut by Fanny Rabel from 1952. Rabel was a Mexican printmaker associated with the Taller de Gráfica Popular in Mexico City, a workshop that used inexpensive relief prints to address labor, poverty, and social injustice. Woodcut suited that purpose: it could be printed in multiples and carried a bold, direct visual language. Its subject, starvation, places the work within a midcentury tradition in which artists used the print to confront hunger as a social condition rather than a private misfortune.
