Jose Guadalupe Posada and Needle Point by Eleanor B. Roosevelt



1940s needlepoint by Eleanor B. Roosevelt (not a fan of FDR's New Deal) with an image often assigned to Posada (La Calavera Huertista) but likely NOT by Posada. From the US Library of Congress https://www.loc.gov/item/2010651022/

Very interesting article by Cara Giaimo discussing the "repurposing" of Posada's images.

Mexican Art comes to Catalina Island for the first time in this exhibition celebrating Mexico’s most prolific artist. José Guadalupe Posada’s images captured all aspects of daily life in Mexico City from 1889-1913, directly influenced artist like Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, shaped the Mexican identity and continue to inform contemporary image making today. A wide representation of Posada’s work, including his famous Day of the Dead calaveras and the artist’s original printing plates, make up this first-of-its-kind exhibition. 
The exhibition will feature text in English and Spanish.

Thank You to Natasha Marin for Providing Piano Music for ART and Revolutions


The piano music for ART and Revolutions was performed by Russian born and trained Natasha Marin. Although schooled originally as a classical pianist Natasha’s abilities extend well beyond the classics. She in fact performs for a variety of events many of which for charity and often with her husband actor/comedian Cheech Marin. For Art and Revolutions, Natasha provided several interpretations of musical compositions by Mexican composer Agustin Lara (1897– 1970). Natasha captured the spirit of Agustin Lara's beloved compositions in a way we hope and believe would have pleased Posada himself. Thank you Natasha!

Information about Natasha may be found at www.natashamarin.com and at her Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Natasha.R.Marin?ref=br_tf
