Accidente - Oliva 1969

Oliva's fantastic psychedelic design for the British film Accident puts the protagonist, played by Dirk Bogarde, at the centre of the poster. The film has a car crash as a key element of the plot but unlike the British poster this doesn't feature in the design. This may have been a time when the poster artist hadn't seen the film.

Like the best of Cuban art this poster borrows heavily from Western pop art and mimics the style of the San Francisco poster tradition.
