"Calavera Oaxaqueña" by Jose Guadalupe Posada (1910)Posada was a Mexican engraver and Illustrator whose work has largely influenced the "Dia de los Muertos" holiday.
A lot of Mexican festivities and events are now shaped and inspired by Posada's images, including his character, La Catrina.
Posada's work has inspired many great artists such as Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco, and he continues to inspire many other artists today.
