La Calavera de la Catrina was a 1913 zinc etching by Mexican printmaker Jose Guadalupe Posada. As you may know, it was the etchings of Posada that inspired Diego Rivera. In the Rivera Exhibit that features A Sunday Afternoon in the Alameda Park, you can see Catrina front and center.Our own Traveling Exhibits coordinator, Lisa, paid homage by creating this fabulous costume for our annual Halloween party.
She won first place in the costume contest (of course)!
As you celebrate Día de los Muertos, you may want to share this picture of Lisa-Catrina with your students!
