Great resource!,
I am an art teacher and every year I do a unit on the Day of the Dead with my students. I have always had a hard time finding quality reproductions of Dia de los Muertos artwork, so when I found this book I was pretty stoked. The book is mainly artwork but includes a bit of historical background on the cultural aspects of the holiday. I wish that it featured a bit more traditional folk art, but my students love the contemporary style of the book (as do I!). I use this book in my high school art room, but it is not “school appropriate” in its entirety.
Its a great resource for me and I have really enjoyed the book!

|Calacas, Calacas y Más Calacas,
Este libro, editado por el genial Dr. Alderete, recopila muchas ilustraciones, grabados, fotos y pinturas de artistas de ayer y hoy. La calidad de impresiòn es excelente. Personalmente me hubiera gustado ver más trabajos del Argentino Jorge Alderete y del grabador Artemio Rodriguez (La Mano Press), pero igual la recopilación de artistas es excelente. Jose Guadalupe Posada sembro la semilla y ahora los frutos son maravillosos…

I would have love to see more art as the original cover had it (With Sylvia Ji art on it) But that’s a personally preference. The Book, the theme the art is Great!!!
