Reproduction of the painting of The Mona Lisa as litography with the intervention of the artist who added a mustache to the Joconde's face.
José Cortés-Santander studied plastic arts at the UDLAP. His work is about rethinking and re-signifying objects.
With this piece Cortés- Santander takes the work of Marcel Duchamp L.H.O.O.Q. to make a joke about why Adolf Hitler couldn’t get into the Art School, painting Hitler's classic mustache on the Gioconda.
