The Monkey
Artist: Ernesto García Cabral
Circa: 1927
Ernesto García Cabral, known as El Chango (The Monkey), was one of Mexico’s most prolific illustrators and caricaturists of the early 20th century. In this bold Art Deco composition, Cabral captures the dynamic energy of a boxer mid-swing. The flat planes of color, striped backdrop, and stylized figure reflect his mastery of modernist design and popular culture. Cabral’s works bridged fine art and mass media, leaving a lasting mark on both Mexican modernism and international graphic art.
