An Unfolded 2000s Italian Commercial Poster (made to be sold directly to the public; measures 25" x 34 1/2" [64 x 88 cm]) (Learn More) Day of the Heroic Guerilla, the 1982 Cuban OSPAAAL poster promoting October 8th, and featuring Elena Serrano art of Che Guevara. Ernesto "Che" Guevara was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution, his stylized visage has become a ubiquitous counter-cultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia in popular culture. He was killed in Bolivia in 1965, and remains both a revered and reviled historical figure, polarized in the collective imagination in a multitude of biographies, memoirs, essays, documentaries, songs and films. A photo of him taken by Alberto Korda titled Guerrillero Heroico (Heroic Guerrilla Fighter), has been called "the most famous photograph in the world". 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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. The poster is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
