The most famous works of José Guadalupe Posada are those that have something to do with death. For Posada, death is an intermediate point where the apparent contradictions that coexist in Mexican society are combined. Whether they are rich or poor, creole or indigenous, judges or thieves, no one escapes death! Death is real, the popular Mexican culture seen by Posada shows us that death doesn't have to be tragic. Posada makes his various elements of the popular tradition to show death as a companion: sometimes she is our friend and sometimes she betrays us.
