Biographical Note
José Guadalupe Posada Aguilar (1852-1913) was a Mexican political lithographer who used relief printing to produce popular
illustrations. Born in Aguascalientes, Mexico, Posada spent his most creative period in Mexico City, from 1888, as a prolific
engraver, printmaker, and publisher during the final years of the Porfirio Díaz dictatorship and the beginning of the Mexican
Revolution. In 1890, Posada began work for noted printer Antonio Vanegas Arroyo. Posada's works were cheaply produced and
widely distributed to both the illiterate and reading public. His subject matter varied including: advertising art, religious
images, illustrations for posters, flyers, brochures and books. He also created images for local printing houses and numerous
religious publications. His work has influenced numerous Latin American and Chicanx artists and cartoonists, including Diego
Rivera and Leopoldo Mendez, because of its satirical acuteness and social engagement. He used skulls, calaveras, and bones
to convey political and cultural critiques. Among his most enduring works is La Calavera Catrina.
