EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Story of the Wolf and the Fox," is a visual retelling of a classic fable from the Brothers Grimm, brought to life by the renowned Mexican artist, José Guadalupe Posada. Dating back to the late 1890s or early 1900s, this work of art showcases Posada's unique comic style, blending humor and morality in a way that continues to resonate with audiences today. The scene depicts a cunning fox, with a mischievous grin, attempting to outwit a greedy wolf. The wolf, with his large, menacing form, has fallen for the fox's ruse and is shown reaching out to grab a juicy-looking cactus fruit, while the fox, hidden behind a cactus, eagerly waits to pounce. This timeless tale of greed and cunning serves as a reminder of the dangers of underestimating one's adversary and the importance of being aware of one's surroundings. Posada's masterful use of line and form brings the characters to life, with the intricate details of the cactus and the animals' expressive features adding depth and texture to the story. The vibrant colors and bold patterns further enhance the visual appeal of this print, making it a must-have for any collection of Mexican art or folklore. This print is a testament to Posada's ability to capture the essence of a story and convey it through his art, making it a beloved piece of Mexican culture and a cherished reminder of the power of storytelling.
