Historical InformationThe collection is named after Sam L. Slick, a collector, scholar, and former Spanish professor at the University of Southern Mississippi, from whom it was acquired in 2001. ArrangementThe posters and index cards are arranged by country. Scope and ContentLatin American and Iberian posters: Sam L. Slick Collection of Latin American and Iberian Posters, contains approximately 10,000 posters from Cuba, El Salvador, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Panama, Nicaragua, and the United States with corresponding descriptions. Currently, over 4,000 of these posters have been photographed and are available to view through the New Mexico's Digital Collections. The digitized portion represents a significant selection of the collection of approximately 10,000 post-1960s Latin American and Spanish political posters. The Slick Collection, unparalleled in scope internationally, includes works of varying scale printed in serigraphy and offset lithography techniques by such well-known artists as Félix Beltrán, Raúl Martínez, Renú Mederos Pazos, Alfredo Rostgaard, and Eduardo Muñoz Bachs of Cuba; Jesús Ruiz Durand of Peru; and Josú Rosa Castellanos, Antonio Martorell, Rafael Tufiño, and Luis Alonso, Angel Vega and Lorenzo Homar of Puerto Rico. The posters address such themes as imperialism, solidarity, human rights, and revolution. Although the materials date between 1970 and 2000, the majority fall within the 1980 to 1995 period, which coincides with the transition to democracy in many Latin American nations. A sizable portion of the collection consists of posters for local, regional, and national elections. Slick's poster index cards, organized by country, are included. His cataloging cards are housed in box 1. Carlos Cortez posters (70 unprocessed and unidentified posters): Carlos Cortez (August 13, 1923 – January 19, 2005) was a poet, graphic artist, photographer, muralist, and political activist, active for six decades in the Industrial Workers of the World. Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1923, the son of a Mexican-Indian Wobbly union organizer father and a German socialist pacifist mother, Cortez spent 18 months in a US prison as a conscientious objector during the World War II, refusing to "shoot at fellow draftees." Cortez joined the Industrial Workers of the World in 1947, identifying himself as an anarcho-syndicalist, writing articles and drawing cartoons for the union newspaper the Industrial Worker for several decades. As an accomplished artist and a highly influential political artist, Cortez is perhaps best known for his wood and linoleum-cut graphics. His work is represented in the collections of several museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago holds the largest, most complete collection of Carlos Cortez's work. In 2002, Cortez edited and introduced the book Viva Posada: A Salute to the Great Printmaker of the Mexican Revolution (Wikipedia, 9/2015). The Cortez posters are related to Chicano and Mexican topics.
