EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jose Guadalupe Posada's iconic engraving on lead titled "Calavera du jarabe d outretombe (Dance of Death)". Measuring 14x20 cm, this artwork is part of a private collection and represents the Mexican tradition of Danse macabre. The calavera, a humorous personification of death, takes center stage as it dances with a male and female skeleton couple. The skeletons are depicted wearing hats and playing musical instruments like the harp while others indulge in drinking from barrels. Posada's zincographie technique brings out the intricate details of this c19th-c20th caricature cartoon. With its clever humor and satirical undertones, this piece reflects the artist's unique style that has become synonymous with Mexican art. It was featured in the catalogue Paris Petit Palais in 1962 as part of Dr. Carrillo Gil's esteemed collection. The image captures the essence of Latin American culture, showcasing Central American heritage through its depiction of dance and music intertwined with themes of mortality. This engraving serves as a reminder that death is an inevitable part of life but can also be embraced with humor and celebration.
