Los Lagartijos (The Dandies) 1942

"Los Lagartijos (The Dandies)" is a 1942 print by the influential Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada. The artwork depicts five individuals, all dressed in stylish attire, standing in front of a building. Posada, known for his satirical and often political cartoons, uses caricature to highlight the extravagance and vanity of the "dandies." The image provides a glimpse into Mexican social life during the early 20th century, offering a satirical critique of the elite and their preoccupation with fashion. The print, created using the woodcut technique, is a testament to Posada's mastery of graphic design and his ability to convey social commentary with humor and wit.
