The influence of José Guadalupe Posada leaps to life on multiple Grateful Dead albums and explodes across the Day of the Dead.
Yet few people have heard of the Mexican printmaker.
José Guadalupe Posada, Art Hazelwood, Jim Nikas and Marsha Shaw, produced at Mission Gráfica, Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts, “La Calavera 99% (The 99% Skull)” 2012, serigraph on paper.
Organizers at the Albuquerque Museum hope to remedy that omission with “José Guadalupe Posada: Legendary Printmaker of Mexico,” online at cabq.gov/posada and in the museum through May 23, 2021.
Born in Aguascalientes, Posada was a Mexican artist who lived more than 100 years ago. He worked as a lithographer, engraver and cartoonist.
“Dear Santa: This year, I hope that someone decides to be a good wingman and prevents an impaired friend from driving off, even if that friend insists they’re only driving a short distance.” – Cst. Jarren Senchuk, Estevan Police Service. “Dear Santa: This year, I wish no one would drive impaired. And if they’re planning to consume alcohol or drugs, I hope they also plan for a safe ride home.” – Penny McCune, chief operating officer of SGI’s auto fund. “Dear Santa: I wish every vehicle we pull over at our check stops has a sober driver behind the wheel, so we can wish them ‘Happy Holidays’ and send them on their way.” – Cpl.
