Feinschmecker
José Guadalupe Posada serves up a tiny, defiant skeleton feasting in a sea of lavender, accompanied by a sassy Spanish poem. The text mocks doctors who 'take and take' from their patients, with the speaker refusing to diet because 'Death is skinny anyway' and stands no chance against a well-fed person. This piece, titled 'Epicure,' showcases Posada’s signature *calavera* style—skeletal figures used to satirize Mexican society and human vanity. It’s a hilarious, dark reminder that no matter how strict the doctor's orders, the skeleton crew is always ready to party.
