As opposed to the French who pioneered the lithographic process, Cuban poster production in the 1950s and 60s was primarily centered around silk screening. Images were built up through layers of paint rather than ink, resulting in a poster which more closely resembled a painting than a litho. The printing tradition continues with CartelON, a project devoted to promoting silkscreening in Cuba by organizing graphic design contests where creatives of all ages can be inspired to explore screenprinting.
About the Movie: Tierra en Trance (Earth Entranced) is a 1967 film by Glauber Raucha. The film follows a jaded journalist, torn between two problematic political candidates in the ficticous American republic, Eldorado.
This poster is in good condition, with minor wear on the top left corner and small ink marks around the edges, please see photos. It is signed by the artist, numbered and embossed with the print studio's seal. Ready to frame!
