Patriotic Catrina Mexican Red-White-Green Papier Mache Skeleton Sculpture

Marina Lozano

(12)

A young skeleton dresses in the patriotic colors of the Mexican flag, her apparel that of the rural Mexican countryside. This is Catrina, who plays the coquette. She is an elegant lady, now a skeleton, but seemingly unaware of her own condition. Her name refers to death personified. Inspired by the caricatures of lithographer Jose Guadalupe Posada, Catrina is an important personage in Mexico's November 2 Day of the Dead celebrations. Marina Lozano works in papier mache to depict the extravagant image and meticulously paints it by hand.

Dancing Catrina in Blue Dancing Catrina Handmade Papier Mache Statuette

Lifting the hem of her wide skirts, a beautiful catrina in blue launches into a sevillana.

Lozano designs the figurine after the original "La Calavera Catrina", a zinc etching created by the artist José 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.

Colorful Bird Bird-Like Papier Mache Alebrije Sculpture

Marina Lozano

(12)

This unique papier mache alebrije sculpture is crafted by Marina Lozano in Mexico. The artisan creates her fantastical version of a bird, with enormous bug-like eyes and a long neck and tail. Designed to grace the edge of a bookshelf or table, the creature is painted by hand in bright colors and varied patterns.

The folk art tradition of alebrijes dates back to the 1930's in Mexico City. A man named Pedro Linares was taken ill, and in his fevered dreams he saw a strange land populated with curious creatures--a donkey with wings, a rooster with bull's horns, and a lion with the head of a dog. The beasts all shouted "alebrije! alebrije!". Upon his recovery, Linares began recreating the fantastical creatures he had seen in his dream. The art form gained popularity, and alebrijes are now made of wood as well as papier mache.
