Many illustrations - Muchas ilustraciones.,
By Luis Miguel Ferrer Bailach "www.luismiguelfer... (Zaragoza, Zaragoza Spain) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Posada's Popular Mexican Prints (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)
Posada is known mainly by its illustrations of the death, in this book appears all its work and the illustrations of the death are only a 10% of the book, the others are illustrations of the daily life, critical policy and customs of the Mexico Posada's time.
The quality of the paper and the encuadernación are not very luxurious, but he is agreed with the price. In Spanish: Posada es conocido principalmente por sus ilustraciones de la muerte, en este libro aparece toda su obra y las ilustraciones de la muerte son solo un 10% del libro, las demás son ilustraciones de la vida cotidiana, crítica política y costumbres de el México de la época de posada. La calidad del papel y la encuadernación no son muy lujosas, pero es acorde con el precio.

Posada's Art of Mexico,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Posada's Popular Mexican Prints (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)
I have been part of a family that celebrates Dia de Los Muertos for 23 years. Posada's art is an intregal part of that celebration. And it tells the story of the Zapatista revolution. You cannot have Dia de Los Muertos without Posada's skeletons. This book is lasting treasure to remember that celebration each year and connect with it.
