INSPIRATION: CUBAN POSTER ART

A really great archive of Cuban poster art here. All the posters featured are part of the Dulwich poster gallery and have been collected over the past 10 years they include both cultural and political artworks, a little taster below (amazing colours!) The blog is well worth a visit in order to gain a better understanding about each individual piece.

Anthony, I checked out your site and didn't see any vintage Cuban posters there, just expensive modern reprints.

There's maybe some cuban poster in your Graphis annual archive. Well, I know an article in a graphis mag, so...
