One of the pleasures of the FOUND IN TRANSLATION show at LACMA is the strong graphic design component in the Modernist section of the exhibition. Posters and drawings illustrate the design exchanges and dialogues between California and Mexico, and include the work of Xavier Viramontes, Yolanda M. López, Fred Ludekens, and many others.
