EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Great Pantheon Love" takes us back to the early 20th century, specifically between 1910 and 1915. Published by Photo-relief (Artokoloro), this letterpress image is printed on vibrant green paper, measuring approximately 15 3/4 x 11 13/16 inches or 40 x 30 cm. The artwork itself is a creation of the renowned Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada, who lived from 1851 to 1913. Posada gained fame in the late-1880s for his iconic calaveras illustrations, which depicted whimsical skeletons engaged in various activities. These images were widely circulated on broadsheets and became synonymous with Day of the Dead celebrations. In this particular print, we see a lively scene where skeletons are joyfully dancing and playing musical instruments. The composition beautifully illustrates rhyming ballads and corridos that narrate love affairs and stories. The brightly colored paper adds an extra layer of vibrancy to these enchanting characters. During that time period, prints like these were sold by street vendors at markets and street festivals across Mexico. They quickly became popular among locals who appreciated both their artistic value and cultural significance. As part of the Liszt Collection, this print captures a fascinating moment in Mexican art history when Posada's imaginative creations brought life to traditional folklore through visually stunning imagery.
