EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts two popular songs by Mexican artist Josué Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913): "En alta mar" (Waltz) and "Dance of the forty-one." These songs, printed in 1901, were created as a response to a significant scandal that shook Mexican society during the presidency of Porfirio Diaz. The image, a zinc engraving printed in the press of A. Vanegas Arroyo, portrays a raunchy and satirical scene. In the illustration, a group of 41 men, half of whom are dressed in women's clothing, are being arrested by the police during a raid on a private home of the upper classes. This event became a pivotal moment in Mexican history, as the number 41 or 42 came to be part of the popular culture to refer to homosexuals. Posada, a master of Mexican printmaking, used his art to comment on the social issues of his time. His bold and provocative imagery reflected the complexities and contradictions of Mexican society during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This print, with its intricate details and vivid colors, is a testament to Posada's artistic genius and his ability to capture the zeitgeist of his era. The print's title, "Printed songs," suggests that it was intended to be sung along with the music, further emphasizing the importance of music and popular culture in Mexican society during this period. Today, this print remains an iconic piece of contemporary art, offering a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the rich cultural heritage of Mexico.
