EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "La Calavera de la Catrina, 1913" a zinc etching created by the renowned Mexican artist Jose Guadalupe Posada. Measuring at 12x16 cm, this artwork is part of the Calaveras Series and depicts a striking female skeleton adorned with an elaborate plumed hat. Posada's work seamlessly combines elements of fashion, satire, and macabre imagery to create a thought-provoking piece that explores themes of wealth, social status, and mortality. The dandy-like appearance of the skeleton adds a touch of humor to the overall composition. The image captures the essence of Mexico's Day of the Dead tradition while also serving as a symbolic commentary on societal norms and values. Through his intricate engravings, Posada invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with material wealth and how it intersects with our inevitable encounter with death. This particular print comes from a private collection and is now out of copyright. It offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to appreciate Posada's masterful technique in capturing both beauty and symbolism within his work.
