Mexico Through the Eyes of José Guadalupe Posada by Alonso Ruiz Pdf
This is a book about how the artist José Guadalupe Posada saw the Mexican country of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His conception of Mexico was expressed through drawings of great vivacity, humorous and with doses of sarcasm. In this work there are more than 80 excellent engravings on different topics of national life, and a detailed description of each of them. Posada was a graphic chronicler, first of the Porfiriato and after the Mexican Revolution. With his drawings and skulls "Calaveras", he tells us the customs of the upper and lower classes of that Mexico of the past. The distinctive genre of his artwork is represented by skulls or "Calaveras", that is, those drawings of skulls and skeletons framed with humorous rhymes. Skeleton drawings adopt jocular and sarcastic poses. With those bones, Posada tells us that we are all dead under the living flesh. But the artist was not limited only to the "bony" characters, but also drew cartoons of real people. In his publications appear elegantly dressed men and women, as well as people in humble clothing, and even shows us characters in rags. The engraver also explored the field of journalistic information. His strokes were the illustration of the news: floods, comets in the sky, earthquakes... The crime tabloids exposed the bloody events, such as the murders and robberies that alarmed the country. The drawings of the Mexican Revolution show the former rebels of the regime, mounted on horseback and with their carbines; on the other hand, the dictatorship's soldiers appear fighting and firing against the guerrillas. José Guadalupe Posada was a pioneer of the Mexican nationalist movement; he had the desire to extract the most authentic from the country to show it with roughness and humor to all who wanted to contemplate it.
Originally published in 1930, Posada: Monografía is a facsimile edition of the first monograph of the great Mexican illustrator and engraver José Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913). Reprinted to coincide with the 100th anniversary of his death, reproduces more than 400 of the most iconic prints from Posada's vast output, collected by Pablo O'Higgins from those that could be located and identified at the time. Posada and Manuel Manilla--a talented engraver who greatly influenced Posada--were the two artists of their day who best interpreted the lives and social attitudes of Mexican people. Posada, in particular, is in the great tradition of illustrators who double as political and social commentators (a tradition that also includes Aubrey Beardsley and Honoré Daumier). The images of the high-spirited, at times macabre broadsheets reproduced in Posada: Monografía include the famous calaveras, or skeleton creatures, along with illustrations for songs, corridos (traditional ballads) and religious prayers. The skeletons in the barrios were a metaphor for a corrupt society; Posada supplemented his black humor with lampoons of venal politicians, and, not surprisingly, was jailed on several occasions for his transgressions. With their striking visual qualities, his ingenious images did much to enrich the tradition of the popular Mexican print. Posada: Monografía also includes an introduction by Frances Toor, the legendary editor of Mexican Folkways magazine, and an essay by Diego Rivera.
José Guadalupe Posada and the Taller de Gráfica Popular by José Guadalupe Posada,Peter Rutledge Koch,Richard Seibert,Max Koch,Adán Griego,D. Vanessa Kam Pdf
Because of the high quality and the quantity of his art, Jose Guadalupe Posada is the one Mexican printmaker who has acquired posthumous and international fame. Posada was at his peak at the turn of the 20th century, during the closing years of the Diaz dictatorship. He has long been recognized as one of the personifications of the ensuing Mexican Revolution, which he did not live to se e completed. He illustrated many broadsides of revolutionary ballads, printed on cheap paper and sold for centavos in the streets. [from the Introduction by Carlos Cortez] Published on the 150th anniversary of Posada's birth (1852-2002), this book features 121 of the finest works by the great popular engraver and relief etcher who inspired not only the Mexican muralists but also the international Surrealist movement as well as poster artists and radical cartoonists from all over the world. Also included here are excerpts from classic texts on the artist by Jean Charlot, Jose Clemente Orozco, Frida Kahlo, Andre Breton and others, as well as statements by poets and artists of our own time - Dennis Brutus, Rikki Ducornet, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Franklin Rosemont, Joseph Jablonski, Ted Joans, Casandra Stark Mele, and many more - all published here for the first time.
International Perspectives on Chicana/o Studies by Catherine Leen,Niamh Thornton Pdf
This volume examines how the field of Chicana/o studies has developed to become an area of interest to scholars far beyond the United States and Spain. For this reason, the volume includes contributions by a range of international scholars and takes the concept of place as a unifying paradigm. As a way of overcoming borders that are both physical and metaphorical, it seeks to reflect the diversity and range of current scholarship in Chicana/o studies while simultaneously highlighting the diverse and constantly evolving nature of Chicana/o identities and cultures. Various critical and theoretical approaches are evident, from eco-criticism and autoethnography in the first section, to the role of fiction and visual art in exposing injustice in section two, to the discussion of transnational and transcultural exchange with reference to issues as diverse as the teaching of Chicana/o studies in Russia and the relevance of Anzaldúa’s writings to post 9/11 U.S. society.
Now available for the first time in English, this volume brings the distinctly Mexican flavor of José Guadalupe Posada's work home to the reader with the striking design of its uncoated pages in the three different colors of the Mexican flag: green, white and red. Interspersed with a varied selection of the artist's engravings--broadsheets, corridos, chapbooks, vignettes, calaveras, games and a long etcetera of miscellaneous material featuring subjects like bullfights, Day of the Dead and crimes of passion--are two long texts by recognized authorities on the work of Posada. One essay deals with Posada's place in the wider tradition of graphic art and engraving, even as it follows his remarkable career from lithographer in the Mexican provinces to "popular" artist representing the quintessential expression of the Mexican Revolution at the beginning of the twentieth century. The other looks at Posada's role as a "professional of the image" in the changing world of publishing for a nascent but fast-growing reading public in late-nineteenth-century Mexico. Finally, the volume contains a biographical chronology of Posada's life and work, a bibliography and more than 600 fascinating reproductions.
