Περίληψη: This article studies the propaganda works designed by architect and archaeologist Francisco Mujica Díez de Bonilla (1899–1979) for president Lázaro Cárdenas during his last years of government (1937–1940). Specifically, it analyzes Mujica's proposal to use statistical charts as a mean of mass communication to explain Cárdenas's reforms and promote popular collaboration. Charts are discussed in comparison with the murals with which they shared exhibition spaces; in the context of Mujica's aesthetic and political theory, his notion of the return of aesthetic forms and his ideal of "planification democracy"; as well as the history of Mexican statistics and the connections Mujica's predecessors made between charts and Mesoamerican codices. The article argues that Mujica's propaganda works are representative of a historical watershed in the history of the Mexican Revolution between Cárdenas's daring reforms and the gradual process of technocratization and bureaucratization.
