About the poster:
This announcement poster was created for the documentary called "El tigre saltó y mató, pero morirá... morirá.." by Santiago Alvarez in 1973. The short documentary was produced in Cuba.
"Film poster for Cuban director Santiago Alvarez's 16-minute documentary film depicting the injustices committed in Chile in the 1970s under the fascist dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. It featured music by Chilean folk singers Violeta Parra and Victor Jara; shortly after the Chilean coup in 1973, Jara was arrested, tortured, and shot to death with 44 bullets from machine gun fire, his body later thrown out into the street of a shantytown in Santiago. Designed by Cuban artist Eduardo Muñoz Bachs, prominently featuring a cartoonish image of Pinochet, whose nose is puncturing a guitar painted the colors of the Chilean flag."
This poster is in very good condition; it would be a beautiful addition to an office space or a living room. Recently professionally linen backed and ready to be framed.
