Enrique Chagoya
La Portentosa Vida de la Muerte II

2008

About the Item

Color lithograph, Edition 30. Enrique Chagoya makes paintings and prints about the changing nature of culture. My artwork is a conceptual fusion of opposite cultural realities that I have experienced in my lifetime. I integrate diverse elements: from pre-Columbian mythology, western religious iconography and American popular culture. On the border of this print surrounding the image the following is written: An American tourist is approached by a Mexican kid holding a small human skull in his hand. He asks him: “Hey Mister, do you want to buy Pancho Villa’s skull?” The tourist replies: “You tried to sell me Pancho Villa’s skull last year and it was much bigger”. The kid says: “Oh yes, but this one is from when he was a little baby”.
