Gianni Amico's Tropico (Tropics or Tropici in Italian) is a fictional 1968 film portraying the injustice of working conditions in Brazil and the plight of the country's underclass. Bach's 1970 poster for the ICAIC features sinister and dramatic artwork using gold tributaries in the mind of the mind of the nearly faceless peasant.
Welcome to the Cuban Posters blog which highlights the best designs from the revolution, including silkscreen movie posters, cultural and political prints and bright colourful designs from the golden period of Cuban history

Poster Producers
ICAIC
The Instituto Cubano de Arte e Industria Cinematográfico is the Cuban film institute. Formed soon after the revolution in 1959 it aims to promote the medium of film through a range of diverse activities including film and television production.
The ICAIC printed the majority of its posters as silkscreens in 20x30 inch format. These posters were mounted in permanent display units across Cuba.
OSPAAAL
The Organisation for Solidarity with the People of Africa, Asia and Latin America was founded soon after the Tricontinental Conference of 1966. It aims to bring attention to world issues and is anti-imperialist and generally socialist in focus. It publishes the Tricontinental journal. The majority of OSPAAAL posters are printed in offset, with no fixed size. The posters were distributed with Tricontinental.
COR
The Comisión de Orientación Revolucionaria is a key Cuban agency designed to promote the ideals of the revolution. Its poster output is varied and sporadic.
Casa de las Americas
Casa de las Americas deals with the promotion and development of the arts and cultural activities in Cuba. Its poster output is varied but often dynamic and colourful.
