Description
The Day of the Dead: A Visual Compendium by Chloë Sayer This comprehensive anthology celebrates the vibrant and unique Mexican festival of the Day of the Dead. According to tradition, one day in the year is dedicated to honouring the dead, with families welcoming returning souls through feasting, visual splendour, and imagination. The book explores how the Day of the Dead has been represented in visual art and culture, from iconic illustrations by José Guadalupe Posada to folk art by the Linares family. With a curated selection of artworks and images, this anthology provides a fascinating insight into the festival's artistic significance. Written by independent scholar and curator Chloë Sayer, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in Mexican art and culture, and its representation in visual arts.
