Description: It's Cactus Paper Mache Folk ArtHandmade Mexican Folk Art, Day of the Dead Green Dress Wealthy Catrina, Vintage Clay Decor 1"x1"x4.25" This skeletal figure is an example of contemporary folk sculpture that grew out of traditional toy making practices. For some generations the Linares family in Mexico City created papier mache toys for use in seasonal festivals such as Carnival, Holy Week, the Day of the Dead, and Christmas. In the mid-1950s Pedro Linares was introduced to the graphic work of the famous Mexican satirist, Jose Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913), who portrayed all aspects of Mexican society through a humorous guise of skeletons, or calaveras. Linares identified with Posada's ideas and began translating his images into three dimensional forms. With the help of his sons he started creating large calavera portraits of known political and social personalities to be blown up during Holy week or featured as sculptured decoration during the Day of the Dead festivities. The Linares family also started producing life-size multi-figured calavera groups portraying scenes from everyday life of Mexico in the late 20th century. One of their favorite subjects has been mariachi musicians, as seen in this example. Here Pedro's second son, Felipe, has raised the craft of papier mache to the level of an ultimate art form with incredible detail in the shaping of the material as well as the decorative painting and added accessories. Día de los Muertos - Day of the Dead- What is it? Día de los Muertos is a traditional Mexican and Latin American holiday held November 1st and 2nd, associated with the Catholic holiday of All Saints Day and All Souls Day. The holiday combines indigenous Aztec ritual and Catholicism. It is a lively and colorful holiday celebrating life and death. El Día de los Muertos is not the Mexican version of Halloween as many consider it. It does share some similarities, among those costumes and parades; however, on Día de los Muertos it is believed that the border between the spirit world and the real-world dissolves. During this brief period, the souls of the dead awaken and return to the living to celebrate with loved ones. In turn, the family members treat the deceased as honored guests and bring along everything their loved one loved. Día de los Muertos Symbols Día de los Muertos is a day filled with symbols. Everything from the altar, to the ofrendas, the marigolds, and the alebrijes. But, out of the many symbols used during Día de los Muertos, the most popular by far are calacas (skeletons) and calaveras (skulls).
