Comment(s): Prints by Meza are scarce. His work is in the collections of the Museo de Arte Moderno, Mexico City, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. His 'expressionist - surrealist' paintings, with themes often drawn from Indian mythology, are often associated with artists such as Frida Kahlo and Agustín Lazo.
