A Folded Two-Sided Cuban Special Poster (measures 14 1/2" x 21 1/4" [37 x 54 cm]) (Learn More) Guerilla Christ, the 1969 Cuban OSPAAAL poster featuring Alfredo Rostgaard art of Jesus Christ with a rifle on his back. The poster was created in tribute of Camilo Torres Restrepo, who was a Colombian socialist, Roman Catholic priest, a predecessor of liberation theology and a member of the National Liberation Army (ELN) guerrilla organization. During his life, he tried to reconcile revolutionary Marxism and Catholicism. He is perhaps best known for the quote: "If Jesus were alive today, He would be a guerrillero [guerilla]". OSPAAAL (The Organization of Solidarity with the People of Asia, Africa and Latin America) is a Cuban political movement with the stated purpose of promoting the causes of socialism and communism in the Third World, fighting globalization, imperialism, neoliberalism and defending human rights. OSPAAAL was founded in Havana in January 1966, after the Tricontinental Conference, a meeting of leftist delegates from several nations. Many of the posters created by OSPAAAL featured multiple languages so they could be used for international audiences, and they often came in copies of OSPAAAL's Tricontinental magazine. The U.S. embargo of Cuba and the fall of the Soviet Union eventually caused considerable difficulty in poster production, and it wasn't until the 2000s that production was able to increase again.
