About the Item

Color lithograph/woodcut, Edition 30. The Misadventures of the Romantic Cannibals is Chagoya’s fifth codex done at our studio. It is illustrated with comic book characters, religious iconography and imagery, appropriated engravings, ethnic stereotypes, Mayan symbols and figures, automobiles, airplanes, book excerpts and elements of US currency. With images that have been altered, combined and juxtaposed, Chagoya creates pages where cultural and religious icons are presented with humor and placed in contradictory, unexpected and sometimes controversial contexts.
