This vibrant and highly decorative poster showcases the fantastical imagery of Nahuatl painter Francisco García Simona, whose work draws deeply from Mexican folk traditions.

The upper register presents a narrative tableau framed like a textile or codex, while the lower section introduces expressive hybrid figures, including a rooster-like creature and a horned anthropomorphic figure, evoking the visual language of alebrijes and indigenous storytelling. The playful yet sophisticated typography—blending blue and red letterforms—complements the lively imagery, reinforcing the cultural dialogue between Mexican popular art and the Parisian exhibition context.
