"The Mexican...is familiar with death, jokes about it, caresses it, sleeps with it, celebrates it; it is one of his favourite toys and his most steadfast love." Octavio Paz, El laberinto de la soledad, (The Labyrinth of Solitude, 1961).
The Day of the Dead is a comprehensive, visual compilation of all forms of artistic material celebrating the world-famous annual Mexican festival. According to Mexican tradition, one day in the year belongs exclusively to the dead, a day on which they are granted celestial permission to visit friends and relatives on earth. In modern Mexico, festivities for the dead are idiosyncratic. Blending pre-Christian and Christian elements, celebrations for All Saints' and All Souls are unique in the Catholic world. Mexicans are as tormented by the idea of mortality as other nations, yet they honour and receive the departed with good cheer, visual splendour and imagination. Families welcome the returning souls with flowers, incense, candles and special foods. This is not a sombre occasion, but a time of feasting and reunion.
This anthology considers how the Day of the Dead has been celebrated in visual art and culture, from the traditional and iconic illustrations of skulls and singing skeletons by seminal lithographer José Guadalupe Posada to the paper cuts of Aaron Velasco Pacheco and representations of the festival by Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo and in the folk art of the Linares family.
Curated by Julian Rothenstein and written by Chloë Sayer, an independent scholar and curator, specializing in Mexican art and culture, this is a must

Great watch
Color: Green
This watch is two times the price of the he casino watch but it is so much better. The indigo dial lights up completely from all angles. It is easy to read even in 0 light. Much more durable and runs on 1 battery instead of 2 batteries in the Casio. Can’t go wrong with this watch!!!

First watch was defective, Replacement is great
Color: Green
It says indiglo on the watch face but there is no illumination what so ever. Totally useless in the dark. I exchanged it for a new one and it is perfect. Just what I expected. I can't speak to its accuracy yet, but it looks and feels great. The bezel doesn't move if that is important to anyone, but I don't think anyone is taking this scuba diving.

Worth it
Color: Orange
Excellent for the price. The indiglo is highly visible as a backlight. It's simple and no frills. The band is better than I expected. I gave it 4 stars because it's only water resistant to 100m or 10ATM and the adjustment/indiglo button isn't flush with the case. Overall Excellent choice for an outdoors watch.

Former reputation is not present in this watch.
Color: Orange
The bezel does not rotate, hand movement stops intermittently. Leaving you to correct the time frequently. Not worth the purchase, Timex is not it what it use to be. "It does'nt take a licking, cause it stops ticking."
