Mexico 2018 - Museo de Arte Popular 3

These skeleton figures have become associated with Day of the Dead in Mexico but their origin was political.  Created by Mexican printmaker, cartoon illustrator and lithographer, José Guadalupe Posada in 1910-1913, they were originally called La Calavera Garbancera.  Calavera means skull, garbancera was a name given to Mexican natives who adopted pretentious aristocratic European styles during the pre-revolution era.  The name later changed to La Calavera Catrina after one of the figures in Diego Rivera's famous Dream of a Sunday afternoon along Central Alameda mural.
