Book excerpt: This substantial compilation features more than 150 cartoons and illustrations in book and digital formats by Mexico's greatest printmakers during the period 1890–1915. Professional and amateur graphic artists alike will find a broad range of uses for these distinctive images of bullfighters, musicians, soldiers, angels, and fiends as well as darkly humorous renditions of live skeletons. A bonus CD-ROM including digital JPEG files of all the artwork accompanies the book. Manuel Manilla drew political cartoons and illustrations for the popular left-wing press of the day. He is chiefly remembered for his etchings on zinc for the free political leaflets and broadsides that were distributed among the lower classes of Mexico City. The works of Jose Guadalupe Posada are often compared to those of the French artist Honore Daumier because of their preoccupation with political strife and class warfare. Posada is particularly noted for his calaveras — satirical interpretations of the skeletons associated with Mexico's Catholic holiday, D�a del los Muertos (Day of the Dead) — many of which appear throughout this compilation.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1930, Posada: Monografía is a facsimile edition of the first monograph of the great Mexican illustrator and engraver José Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913). Reprinted to coincide with the 100th anniversary of his death, reproduces more than 400 of the most iconic prints from Posada's vast output, collected by Pablo O'Higgins from those that could be located and identified at the time. Posada and Manuel Manilla--a talented engraver who greatly influenced Posada--were the two artists of their day who best interpreted the lives and social attitudes of Mexican people. Posada, in particular, is in the great tradition of illustrators who double as political and social commentators (a tradition that also includes Aubrey Beardsley and Honoré Daumier). The images of the high-spirited, at times macabre broadsheets reproduced in Posada: Monografía include the famous calaveras, or skeleton creatures, along with illustrations for songs, corridos (traditional ballads) and religious prayers. The skeletons in the barrios were a metaphor for a corrupt society; Posada supplemented his black humor with lampoons of venal politicians, and, not surprisingly, was jailed on several occasions for his transgressions. With their striking visual qualities, his ingenious images did much to enrich the tradition of the popular Mexican print. Posada: Monografía also includes an introduction by Frances Toor, the legendary editor of Mexican Folkways magazine, and an essay by Diego Rivera.

Download or read book Posada written by José Guadalupe Posada and published by Editorial Rm. This book was released on 2008 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available for the first time in English, this volume brings the distinctly Mexican flavor of José Guadalupe Posada's work home to the reader with the striking design of its uncoated pages in the three different colors of the Mexican flag: green, white and red. Interspersed with a varied selection of the artist's engravings--broadsheets, corridos, chapbooks, vignettes, calaveras, games and a long etcetera of miscellaneous material featuring subjects like bullfights, Day of the Dead and crimes of passion--are two long texts by recognized authorities on the work of Posada. One essay deals with Posada's place in the wider tradition of graphic art and engraving, even as it follows his remarkable career from lithographer in the Mexican provinces to "popular" artist representing the quintessential expression of the Mexican Revolution at the beginning of the twentieth century. The other looks at Posada's role as a "professional of the image" in the changing world of publishing for a nascent but fast-growing reading public in late-nineteenth-century Mexico. Finally, the volume contains a biographical chronology of Posada's life and work, a bibliography and more than 600 fascinating reproductions.

Download or read book Mexican Graphic Art written by Milena Oehy and published by Scheidegger and Spiess. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This new book, published to coincide with an exhibition at Kunsthaus Zurich in summer 2017 offers an overview of the development of Mexican graphic art between the late 19th-century and the 1970s, ranging from figurativism to early abstract works. It features around 50 key works on paper, printed using a range of techniques, that deal with issues such as poverty and wealth, love and cruelty, and the poetry and hardships of everyday life. In addition to prints by Jose Guadalupe Posada, there are characteristic Realist works by Leopoldo Mendez, Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros as well as abstracts by Rufino Tamayo and Francisco Toledo. Revolutionary ideas and engagement with socio-cultural and socio-political concerns play a key role in the history of Mexican art. The members of Taller de Grafica Popular, a people's graphic art workshop established in 1937 by a collective of international artists in Mexico, produced flyers and posters for the masses supporting trade unions, popular education and socialist issues in the country. Their editions exemplify the typical Mexican tradition of black-and-white woodcuts and linoleum prints. The images depict Mexican life and the customs and characteristics of its indigenous populations, but also include the country's first forays into abstract art. The images are complemented by an introductory essay and brief texts on the artists and featured works. The Mexican Graphic Art exhibition runs from 19 May to 27 August 2017, Kunsthaus Zurich."--Résumé de l'éditeur.

Book excerpt: Funny Bones tells the story of how the amusing calaveras—skeletons performing various everyday or festive activities—came to be. They are the creation of Mexican artist José Guadalupe (Lupe) Posada (1852–1913). In a country that was not known for freedom of speech, he first drew political cartoons, much to the amusement of the local population but not the politicians. He continued to draw cartoons throughout much of his life, but he is best known today for his calavera drawings. They have become synonymous with Mexico’s Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival. Juxtaposing his own art with that of Lupe’s, author Duncan Tonatiuh brings to light the remarkable life and work of a man whose art is beloved by many but whose name has remained in obscurity. The book includes an author’s note, bibliography, glossary, and index.

Download or read book Jos Guadalupe Posada and the Mexican Penny Press written by Diane Miliotes and published by Trout Gallery, Dickinson College. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jos� Guadalupe Posada (1852?1913) was one of Mexico's most influential political printmakers and illustrators. He produced an extensive body of imagery, from illustrations for children's games to sensationalistic news stories. Posada is best known, however, for his popular and satirical representations of calaveras (skeletons) in lively guises, which have become associated with the D�a de los Muertos celebrations. Posada's prints shaped generations of Mexican artists, among them the muralists Diego Rivera and Jos� Clemente Orozco. This study contextualizes Posada's work in late nineteenth- and early twentiety-century Mexico City, which was domoniated by the dramatic modernization of the country under the lenthy presidency of Porfirio D�az and the subsequent Revolution of 1910. It considers a wide range of Posada's career as an illustrator and printmaker in the capitol, focusing particularly on his work for the publisher Antonio Vanegas Orroyo. It also includes works by Posada's contemporary, Manuel Manilla. The more than 140 works featured in this study are grouped according to the following themes: modernization; devotional imagery, sensational events (crimes, scandals, moralizing tales); natural and man-made disasters; calaveras and the Day of the Dead; humor, stories, games, and songs; heroes and bandids; and nation and revolution. It includes a number of Posada's most important images?Las Garbanceras, Don Quixote la primera, and El Purgatorio Art�stico, and equally inventive but less well known works such as the comical Dialoguito da Mam� Tierra con D. Cometa Halley, El mosquito Americano, El fantasma de la catedral, and Una mujer qui dio a luz tres ni�os y quarto animales.

Book excerpt: Because of the high quality and the quantity of his art, Jose Guadalupe Posada is the one Mexican printmaker who has acquired posthumous and international fame. Posada was at his peak at the turn of the 20th century, during the closing years of the Diaz dictatorship. He has long been recognized as one of the personifications of the ensuing Mexican Revolution, which he did not live to se e completed. He illustrated many broadsides of revolutionary ballads, printed on cheap paper and sold for centavos in the streets. [from the Introduction by Carlos Cortez] Published on the 150th anniversary of Posada's birth (1852-2002), this book features 121 of the finest works by the great popular engraver and relief etcher who inspired not only the Mexican muralists but also the international Surrealist movement as well as poster artists and radical cartoonists from all over the world. Also included here are excerpts from classic texts on the artist by Jean Charlot, Jose Clemente Orozco, Frida Kahlo, Andre Breton and others, as well as statements by poets and artists of our own time - Dennis Brutus, Rikki Ducornet, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Franklin Rosemont, Joseph Jablonski, Ted Joans, Casandra Stark Mele, and many more - all published here for the first time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este fascinante libro, ricamente ilustrado y talismán contra nuestra tendencia a tomar a La Parca muy en serio, Mercurio López Casillas analiza la tradición de representar a la muerte en las artes gráficas. A través de estas páginas vamos a recorrer las diferentes caras con las que la muerte ha sido presentada en el transcurso de las distintas épocas, desde la prehispánica hasta las páginas cómicas de la prensa mexicana contemporánea. También entraremos en dos interesantes perspectivas que en ocasiones han convivido: una que invita a la risa franca, del gusto popular y de la prensa; otra trágica y oscura, apegada a la moda europea, a la que durante el porfiriato prefirieron artistas, literatos y aristócratas. Por supuesto, prestaremos especial atención a los esqueletos retozones de José Guadalupe Posada, imágenes emblemáticas del arte mexicano. Julio Ruelas, Manilla, los grabadores que trabajaron para Venegas Arroyo y los caricaturistas decimonónicos, así como sus sucesores del Taller de Gráfica Popular, son abordados en detalle.
