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.
