“Calavera de intervención” is a caricature artwork created by the artist José Guadalupe Posada, associated with the Modernismo art movement. The artwork showcases a multitude of intricately drawn skeletons, depicted in a riotous interaction that appears both chaotic and lively. In the artwork, skeletons are illustrated in various states, with some dressed in garments simulating everyday attire and others donning military uniforms, possibly in a display of societal commentary. The dense assembly of calaveras (skulls) spans the entirety of the piece, forming a vivid and engaging tableau that reflects Posada’s distinctive style and critical perspective on social and political issues.
