Papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 sculpture, known as cartoner\u00eda<\/em>, is a popular form of Mexican folk art.\u00a0 Skeleton figures like these are especially sought after for Day of the Dead. These figures represent Mexican artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.\u00a0 The design is based on one of Kahlo\u2019s paintings, shown here.\u00a0 The bases of the individual figures fit together to form a heart.\u00a0 The artists were married from 1929 to 1939 and again from 1940 until her death in 1954.\u00a0 These sculptures were made by Felipe Linares Mendoza.\u00a0 The Linares family is famous for their papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 sculptures. Although the family had been making cartoner\u00eda for decades, they didn\u2019t add skeletons to their portfolio until 1968, when they were introduced to the skeleton illustrations of Jos\u00e9 Guadalupe Posada. A renaissance of cartoner\u00eda was sparked by the popularity of such figures on the international art market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
