Early life and education
Posada was born in Ayo, Venezuela, on February 2, 1852. Germán Posada Serna and his mother, Petra Aguilar Portillo, were together as a father and son. Posada was one of eight children and received his early education from his older brother Cirilo, a country school coach. Posada's brother taught him how to read, writing, and drawing. He then joined La Academia Municipal de Dibujo de Aguascalientes (the Municipal Drawing Academy of Aascalientes). He apprenticed in Jose Trinidad Pedroza's workshop, which taught him lithography and engraving as an infant.
His first cartoons were published in 1871, before he was out of his teens. He began in 1871 as the political cartoonist for a local newspaper in Aguascalientes, El Jicote. After 11 issues, the paper was reportedly because one of Posada's cartoons offended a popular local politician. Posada and Pedroza dedicated themselves to commercial lithography in León, Guanajuato, in 1872. Posada began teaching lithography at the local secondary school while studying in Leon. He also worked with lithographs and wood engravings. He returned to Aguascalientes, where he married Mara de Jess Vela in 1875. He purchased the printing press from Pedroza next year.
Posada continued to collaborate with many newspapers in León, including La Gacetilla, el Pueblo Caótico, and La education, from 1875 to 1888. He survived León's great flood on June 18, 1888, of which he published several lithographs depicting the tragedy in which more than two hundred and fifty people were discovered and more than 1,400 people were reported missing.
He moved to Mexico City at the end of 1888, where he learned about lead and zinc engraving. He worked with the newspaper La Patria Ilustrada and the Revisita de Mexico from the early months of 1890.
Later life
José Guadalupe Posada died of gastroenteritis in 1913, a large portion of his life. Three of his neighbors reported his death, but only one of them knew his full name.
Career as artist
He began to work with Antonio Vanegas Arroyo before being able to open his own lithographic workshop. Posada undertook work that gained him acclaim and adoration for his humour and propensity regarding the quality of his work from then on. Posada's diverse portfolio depicted values, daily lives of popular groups, government abuses, and the misexploitation of the common people. He illustrated the famous skulls as well as other illustrations that were distributed in numerous newspapers and periodicals.
He was hired as a lithography instructor at the local Preparatory School in 1883, following his success. The shop thrived until 1888, until the city was devastated by a devastating flood. He then migrated to Mexico City. Ireneo Paz, the grandfather of the late famed writer Octavio Paz, was his first regular presence in the capital. He later joined Antonio Vanegas Arroyo's publishing company, and while at this company, he created a number of book covers and illustrations. The bulk of his work was also published in sensationalistic broadsides depicting various current events.
Posada worked tirelessly in the media from the start of the Mexican Revolution in 1910 to his death in 1913. During this period, he developed his artistic prowess as a draftsman, engraver, and lithographer. El Jicote, a magazine that was at the time, began to make satirical illustrations and cartoons. During Francisco I Madero's presidency and during Emiliano Zapata's campaign, he played a vital role for the government.
