We invite you to enjoy today the official opening of a new exhibition organized by the Embassy of Mexico in Ireland: José Guadalupe Posada. 100 years. The event will be today at 7pm in the Exhibition Room. You can enjoy this fantastic work until July 4th.
José Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913) is one of Mexico’s maximum exponents in universal plastic. His work has positioned itself in the collective imagination as synonymous with Mexican culture. It is just enough to mention one of his masterworks, the Calavera Catrina, as the benchmark of the ancestral celebration of the Day of the Dead, recognized and admired internationally.
A hundred years after the death of Posada, the exhibition covers the last decade of the Nineteenth Century and the first of the Twentieth, a period in which Posada consolidated what history set out as theorigin of Mexican popular graphic, and influenced decisively in various forms of art that resulted in the so-called nationalist movement, just after the Mexican Revolution.
This exhibition features over one hundred original pieces grouped into three themes: Daily Life, Disasters and Calaveras. The exhibition, presented in Dublin by the Embassy of Mexico in Ireland and the Cervantes Institute in collaboration with the Government of Aguascalientes, has been integrated by the Mexican National Institute of Fine Arts (INBA), the National Council for Culture and the Arts (CONACULTA), the Cultural Institute of Aguascalientes, México (ICA) and the José Guadalupe Posada Museum.
Opening hours: Mon-Thu: 3-7pm, Sat: 10am-2pm
Hoy estás invitado a asistir a la inauguración oficial de nuestra nueva exposición: José Guadalupe Posada. Cien años, organizada por la Embajada de México en Irlanda. Te esperamos hoy a las 19:00 en la Sala de Exposiciones. Tendrás la oportunidad de disfrutar de este fantástico trabajo hasta el 4 de julio.
José Guadalupe Posada (Aguascalientes, México, 1852 – Ciudad de México, 1913) en su época fue un modesto artesano ilustrador de impresos. Con el paso de los años su aportación resultó tan significativa que actualmente es el artista que mayor influencia tiene en la mayoría de los grabadores mexicanos del siglo XX. La vigencia de su obra continúa hasta nuestros días en el arte popular y seguramente su legado permanecerá por muchos años como ejemplo para artistas y diseñadores gráficos. Buena parte de sus creaciones se han convertido en iconos de la cultura mexicana. A nivel internacional cualquiera de sus estampas representa orgullosamente la identidad del pueblo mexicano.
