Los Cuatro Puentes

America gets squeezed by the brotherhood of the Latin American nations
Full-size original silkscreen Cuban poster for the Cuban documentary movie "Los Cuatro Puentes", directed by Santiago Alvarez. Artist is niko, date of production 1975. Silkscreen in 3 colors on cream-colored paper. Published by ICAIC, the Cuban Film Institute.

Sheet size: 20 x 30 inches

Condition: Very light edge rubbing from storage, paper lightly toned, some color variation in black background.

NOTE: Since many Cuban movie posters have been re-issued in the last few years (the re-issues are also silkscreen prints, created in the same manner as the originals and indistinguishable except that the paper is bright and white), it is often not possible to ascertain the exact date of printing. Since the paper of this poster is lightly toned and there are other flaws, this is probably an older poster.

"Cuban silkscreen posters, whether new or old, can have original printing defects such as uneven borders, thick ink areas and uneven color and texture. Older posters can have some foxing, edge wear, possible bleed through, and cracking from dryness". These are the facts of Cuban production and storage in a humid climate.
