2 What is Day of the Dead? Day of the Dead, or El Dia de los Muertos, is a traditional Mexican holiday, celebrating and honouring those who have departed. It is believed that spirits of the dead visit their families on October 31st and leave on November 2nd. El Dia de los Muertos is a positive, upbeat occasion. Homes are decorated with beautiful altars known as ofrendas, laden with offerings of food and gifts for the weary spirit travellers. The Day of the Dead is truly a celebration of those who have passed. It is not a sad or morbid gathering more a festive, family-centred celebration of friends and relatives. In Oaxaca, south of Mexico City, villagers celebrate with parades and processions. Families will make an ofrenda or offering on the home altar and on graves. Markets are filled with mountains of food, flowers, egg bread (Pan de Muerto) in various shapes, sugar and sesame candy skulls, heaps of cinnamon sticks, and the fabled Oaxaca chocolate. When visiting a Oaxaca home during Day of the Dead you should not go empty handed. It is a common courtesy to bring some chocolate, a loaf of Pan de Muerto or refreshments. The skull, or calavera is a very important symbols on Day of the Dead. Besides representing death, skulls are also shown smiling or doing day-to-day activities such as riding a bike or playing a guitar, showing that death is not something to be feared but is simply part of life.

15 MEXICAN ART AND DAY OF THE DEAD La Calavera Catrina by José Guadalupe Posada 1910 Tree of Hope, Remain Strong by Frida Kahlo 1946 The Day of the Dead by Diego Rivera 1924 Source

16 José Guadalupe Posada was a Mexican artist who specialised in printmaking. He was born on February 2, 1852 and has influenced many modern Latin American artists and cartoonists because of his satirical acuteness and social engagement. Posada's most popular works are his calaveras, which can assume various disguises such as the Calavera de la Catrina, the Skull of the Female Dandy. These images were meant to poke fun at the upper classes way of living during the reign of Porfirio Díaz. Since Posada s death his artwork has become associated with the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos and his images of death symbolize Mexico's intimate and comfortable relationship with death, which is best expressed during the annual Day of the Dead holiday. Posada played a pivotal role in the development of Diego Rivera's work. Rivera would often stop by to visit Posada and watch him work at his studio. Rivera credited Posada as having a great influence on his own artwork and direction. Largely forgotten by the end of his life, Posada's engravings were brought to a wider audience in the 1920s by the French artist Jean Charlot, who first saw them while visiting Diego Rivera. While Posada died in poverty, his images are well known today.

17 Diego Rivera Painter and muralist Diego Rivera was born in Mexico in He is known today as one of the greatest Mexican artists of the 20th century. He began sketching and drawing at the age of 10 and later entered the San Carlos Academy of Fine Art in Mexico City. In 1907 his studies continued in Europe where he became friends with several famous artists, including Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, and Piet Mondrian. In 1921, he started working for the Mexican government. He created a series of murals located in public buildings. He sought to make these murals reflect the lives of the working class and native peoples of Mexico. In the painting below Rivera included the famous skeleton image of La Catrina that Posada so often employed,a symbolic representation of a typical society woman from turn of the century Mexico. Can you also spot Rivera s wife Frida Kahlo in the painting? Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo's relationship was passionate and stormy. They were married in 1929, divorced in 1940, and then married again that same year. Sueño de una Tarde Dominical en la Alameda Central (detail). Mural by Diego Rivera. Art activity idea: Create your own mini mural idea for your home or school library, dining room or other communal area. Try to incorporate themes that represent your community.

18 Frida Kahlo Self-portrait artist Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907, in Coyocoán, Mexico City, Mexico. One of Mexico's greatest artists, Frida Kahlo began painting after she was severely injured in a bus accident at the age of 18. Kahlo grew up in the family s home where she was born - later referred to as the Blue House or Casa Azul. Kahlo married fellow communist artist Diego Rivera in During the early years of their marriage she travelled with Rivera to the USA where he worked on Mural commisions. In the 1930 s, Kahlo began to incorporate more graphic and surrealistic elements in her work. She went to live in Paris for a time where she exhibited some of her paintings and became friendly with the artists, Marcel Duchamp and Pablo Picasso. Kahlo divorced Diego Rivera in 1940 but they married again that same year. In the 1950 s Frida s health problems dominated her life but she continued to put painting and political causes first despite suffering great pain and limited mobility. She liked to play with the theme of death in her work and, perhaps because of her early accident and ill health, this theme also played a large role in her day-to-day life. She dressed cardboard skeletons in her own clothes and ordered a sugar skull emblazoned with her name. I tease and laugh at death, Kahlo liked to say, so that it won t get the better of me. In the spring of 1953 she staged a triumphant one-woman exhibition of her paintings, curated with her imminent death in mind. She was carried into the gallery by ambulance on a hospital stretcher and dressed in native costume and jewelry, and held court from her own four-poster bed installed in the gallery for the show, surrounded by young fans and crippled old friends. A grinning skeleton fixed to the underside of her bed s mirror-lined canopy lay face down as if watching her. Since her death in 1954, Kahlo s fame as an artist has only grown. Her beloved Blue House was opened as a museum in 1958 and Kahlo is now recognised as one of the great 21st century atists and icons of female creativity. Art activity idea: Why not try creating your own self portrait? You could include themes that are important to you or are facets of your own personality.
