David Alfaro Siqueiros (Mexican, 1896 - 1974). "La Arena Traicionada". Original color offset lithograph. 1950. Printed 1950. Signed and dated by Siqueiros in the matrix. Edition of 900, of which only a few survive. Full margins. Fine impression. Good condition. Provenance: Ex-collection Jaled Muyaes, Mexico City. Extremely rare. Executed in 1950 by Siqueiros specifically for the rear pastedown and rear endpaper (one piece) for Pablo Neruda's famous "Canto General," published in 1950 by Neruda himself in Mexico City. The book, now itself exceedingly rare, was limited to 900 copies. There was a small overrun of the Siqueiros print (as well as the Rivera print used as the front endpaper/pastedown) which Neruda gave to his close friend, Jaled Muyaes. From the collection of Jaled Muyaes and Estela Ogazon. Printed by Talleres Graficos de la Nacion in Mexico City. Please see the article "Del Pincel y la Palabra.
