"Working in papier mache, Marina Lozano of Mexico creates this wonderful catrina statuette. The skeletal sculpture is elegantly dressed, with ribbons and flowers in her hair and a bouquet of alcatraces or calla lilies at her bosom. Lozano designs the figurine after the original 'La Calavera Catrina', a zinc etching created by the artist Jose Guadalupe Posada in Mexico around 1910. Posada created the character, a female skeleton with an elegant hat, as a satirical portrait of Mexican natives who aspired to European style and denied their own heritage. The catrina has since become an emblem of Mexico's Day of the Dead celebration and a popular folk art subject."
