Dia de los Muertos 2024

We commemorate Dia del los Muertos with woodcuts  by the Mexican printmaking satirist José Guadalupe Posada Aguilar (1852-1913) from the 1930 publication Monografía: Las Obras de José Guadalupe Posada, grabador mexicano, edited by American ethnographer Frances Toor (1890-1956), American Mexican artist Paul O'Higgins (1904-1983), and Posada's contemporary and colleague Blas Vanegas Arroyo (1852-1917), with an introduction by the prominent Mexican artist Diego Rivera (1886-1957), published in Mexico City by Mexican Folkways. 

 Calaveras and calacas are closely associated with Day of the Dead celebrations, and this Posada monograph contains many examples.

Martha Mason shows off the "interdimensional portal" in her basement. Just one of the many remnants of the Transdimensional Temple Cult leader who used to own it.
