Artworks like “La Catrina” were made for Día de los Muertos, a celebration that honors those who have passed away. But Posada produced art beyond the Day of the Dead, too. Born in 1852, José Guadalupe Posada had a passion for art from a young age. He mastered various printmaking techniques, creating over 20,000 images that illustrated life's hardships and humor. Posada’s art was for everyday people, making his prints accessible and relatable, even to those who couldn’t read.
