The Cart of Death
Francisco Dosamantes, Mexican Mexican
Dosamantes was director at the Joaquín Clausell Painting Workshop in Campeche—a port city on the Gulf of Mexico. The striking image of a skeleton driving a cart at a furious pace serenaded by animal musicians was designed for a poster announcing an exhibition at the workshop of thirty-four linocuts from Estampas de la revolución mexicana (Prints of the Mexican Revolution). The portfolio ended up comprising eighty-five prints and was published in 1947 by the Taller de Gráfica Popular in Mexico City.
