Feliz dia de los Muertos! Happy Day of the Dead (el Dia de los Muertos), the Mexican holiday where families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion that includes food, drink and celebration. Mexican political printmaker Jose Guadalupe Posada was known for his satirical and politically acute calaveras (skull) sketches like the one seen here. After his death, the artist's images become closely associated with Dia de los Muertos.... _____________________ #JosePosada, [Street Scene from Dance of Death], no date #SUArtMuseum #museum #SUArtFromHome #MuseumFromHome #mysuart #syracuseu See more

Maybe your family unit can dress up like these dancers, taking lead from these sketches by Georges Braque designed for the Diaghilev Ballets Russes 1924 French Season presentation of Moliere’s comedy-ballet Les Facheux? ... __________ #GeorgesBraque #halloweencostume #halloween #trickortreat #ballet #drawing #frenchart #suartmuseum #syracuseu #art See more

Currently on view in the virtual exhibition "One World: Diverse Landscapes," El Perro Viente (The Living Dog), is part of a larger portfolio titled Manuel Alverez Bravo published by Acorn Editions in 1981. Produced late in the artist’s career, the portfolio provides an interesting overview of a photographer little known to American audiences until the 1960s. His work was an interesting pastiche of Mexican landscape, urban street life, female nudes, and theatrical aspects of everyday life all imbued with symbolism and a sense of fantasy. A self-taught photographer, Bravo saw his homeland from a unique personal perspective. He recorded his surroundings not as a documentarian, but as an interpreter who included into his photographs his emotions and active imagination.

Best known for his intaglio prints, #printmaker Calvin Burnett was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, studied at Massachusetts School of Art and earned an MFA from Boston University in1960. He held teaching positions at the Massachusetts College of Art and at the DeCordova Museum. Burnett’s title critiques this urban tavern scene. Besides its primary reference to nature, a slough also refers to, a situation characterized by lack of progress or activity. Using an elevated vie...wpoint, the artist cuts an expressive block representing a seedier city neighborhood populated with individuals uninterested in each other. ___________________ #CalvinBurnett, Subtle Slough, 1942 #SUArtMuseum #museum #SUArtFromHome #MuseumFromHome #mysuart #syracuseu #syracuse #orangenation #celebratesu #art #printmaker #printmaking #americanart #monday See more
