!["Boycott Grapes, Support the United Farm Workers Union" offset lithograph on paper
----- [from the Smithsonian American Art Museum] -----
Viramontes created "Boycott Grapes, Support the United Farm Workers Union" the year César Chávez initiated a new grape boycott in response to the Teamsters' violent intervention in disputes between the UFW and California growers.
Viramontes was aware of the Teamsters' brutal tactics, which likely informed his imagery of a formidable Aztec warrior squeezing grapes that spew blood instead of juice.
The artist suggested that the UFW sell the poster to support the boycott. While the union initially believed the blood symbolism was too graphic, they began selling the print via mail order through El Malcriado, the UFW newspaper.

Just learned about the Aztec god Xipe Totec, also known as "Our Lord The Flayed One" who was depicted as a skinless body. He was celebrated on the Spring equinox by flaying several human sacrifices and wearing their bloody skins through town demanding alms.
