Jose Guadalupe Posadas was a Mexican printmaker known for his Calaveras (skulls) that depicted political satire. He did not only make prints depicting skulls but other prints as well; such as “A hanged man, a scene from the Mexican Revolution.” This print is rather small (only depicting a man, a tree and rope), but it is brusque. It portrays a man that has been hanged, yet his feet touch the ground, and the rope seems to be around his chest rather than his neck. Posadas wants us to focus on the man and nothing around him; this is proved by the composition he used (tight space around the main subject.) Posadas didn’t give any context, for the artwork has more force than any words would; He did not use words to create a framework for it since it restricts the message that the audience receives. An interesting detail to notice about this print is that he is depicting death, yet he does not use skulls to portray death, yet it is closer to it than the other prints.
