    Art Brokerage: Jose Guadalupe Posada Mexican Artist: b. 1851-1913. José Guadalupe Posada, an ingenious artist, lived during one of the most turbulent times in Mexico. He knew how to capture the essence of this turbulence in his lithographs to the point that they became the icon of Revolutionary Mexico. He moved to Mexico City in 1888 and began 25 years of lithographic and grabado production, collaborating for several newspapers and flyers. In all of these cartoons, Posada satirized governmental abuses and revealed all different types nof secrets and gossip about the families favored by the Porfirista regimen (the period when the Mexican dictator Porfirio Díaz rules). Posada immortalized both important events and everyday life in his work, but not only that. Posada also made one of the most ancestral myths of the Mexican culture famous: death. From the ancient cultures that were established in the Valle de México to the mexicas, every civilization has taken a very special interest in death. It wasn't sadness or pain, but a mystical influence magical in the way that it became a friend, a faithful confidante, a mysterious conqueror. Listings wanted by Art Brokerage.
