Opis: The Day of the Dead - Deborah Holtz, Juan Carlos Mena

While there have been other books about the Day of the Dead, most are long out of print and aridly academic. This book features both exceptional traditional Indigenous material such as vibrant folk art and crafts, flamboyant costumes and masks, special food and drink but also a much more funky, modern approach that blends lively music and dance, colorful parades, cutting-edge contemporary street art, and a festive atmosphere that engages all of the senses with handmade altars, flowers, painted skulls, toys, paintings, murals, and other art objects. Featuring hundreds of specially commissioned photographs and voluminous in-depth research, the book is lavishly illustrated and designed with an aesthetic that draws on both traditional material as well as Mexico s contemporary street art style.

Blending visual elements inspired by the country s pre-Hispanic heritage, European influences, and modern art trends, the book explores the evolution of the Day of the Dead and the special role it plays. This book is the definitive, authentic resource for all things Day of the Dead.
