February 02, 1951. José Guadalupe Posada (February 2, 1852 -
January 20, 1913) was a Mexican cartoonist illustrator and artist whose
work has influenced many Latin American artists and cartoonists because
of its satirical acuteness and political engagement. In this undated
photo released by the Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes de
Mexico (CONACULTA), is seen an engraving by Mexican artist Jose
Guadalupe Posada. In 2013, Mexico marks the 100 year anniversary of the
death of Posada with exhibitions, publications and concerts. Posada is
the creator of "La Catrina", a popular engraving of a skull wearing an
elegant hat.
