Like so many other artists thrown rather hastily into a common grave, José Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913) only achieved posterity after his death. Too busy engraving some twenty thousand drawings to find the time to write his own legend, it is therefore his skeleton that tells us from beyond the grave the artist he was during his lifetime. Life and death of the greatest of Mexican engravers: The most beautiful engravings of the Mexican master illustrate this biographical account by Samuel Dégardin. A tenacious imagery emerges, populated by revolutionaries and skeletons. Posada is today considered the greatest of Mexican engravers, his drawings daily inspire illustrators, designers, graphic artists, tattoo artists and creators from all over the world. We must therefore believe that the career of an artist can extend beyond death and live his life thumbing his nose at death.
