Mexico 68 â Juegos de la XIX Olimpiada (âImpresosâ) â 1968 â Original Poster [Mexico]
FolkâModernism for the first Olympics in Latin America
| Offset lithograph | 90 Ă 90 cm | Mexico
đŹ Introduction
An oliveâgreen field sets five perfect circlesâeach a tree cradling a stylized bird rendered in saturated blue, black, orange, green, and magenta. White floral filigree traces the birds like embroidery, a clear nod to papel picado and regional textile traditions. Along the bottom, the concentricâline MEXICO 68 logotype and Olympic rings sit above âJUEGOS DE LA XIX OLIMPIADA,â locking the folkloric imagery into the Gamesâ rigorously modern visual system.
This square âImpresosâ sheet extends the Mexico 68 identity beyond sport into communications and culture. The interplay of vernacular motifs and Op Art patterning encapsulates the programâs distinctive synthesisâmodernist structure meeting indigenous referenceâexecuted on matte stock in rich period inks at an unusually architectural 90 Ă 90 cm.
âš Why It Matters
Mexico 68 is a landmark in design systems, developed by the Organizing Committeeâs graphics team led by Lance Wyman and Eduardo Terrazas. Beyond the famous sport pictograms, functional series like âImpresosâ reveal the programâs breadth and its colorâcoded, environmentâwide ambitionâkey reasons these square-format sheets are sought after by collectors of Olympic material, Mexican modernism, and folk art. Beware later reproductions: originals typically show matte paper, crisp offset litho screens, and the integrated MEXICO 68 wordmark with Spanish titlingâdetails prized for authentication and display.
