To view all of the posters, please visit our eBay Store, where new listings are regularly being posted in both the Auction and Buy It Now/Best Offer formats. Visit us at stores.ebay.com/CubanPosterGallery The Cuban Poster Gallery appreciates your business!Our price for this poster is $249 Here we are offering a famous Cuban silk-screen poster, handmade in Havana, Cuba to salute a 1960s government program that trucked-in movies to rural communities, most of which did have movie theatres. The poster — titled CINE MOVIL (Mobile Cinema) — shows the iconic British actor CHARLIE CHAPLIN, whose movies were often shown. A short 1967 documentary about the program — titled POR PRIMERA VEZ (For the First Time) — can be found on YouTube. This celebrated poster was designed by graphic-arts master Eduardo Muñoz Bachs (1937-2001), whose work can be found in many prestigious collections worldwide, from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles to The Victoria and Albert Museum in London.The 20 by 30 inch poster (a standard size, so easy and inexpensive to frame) was silk-screened in the Cuban Film Institute workshop in Havana about 20 years ago–some years after the poster was first released. A word about Cuban silk-screens: Once the 1st Editions are sold, the Cuban Film Institute will sometimes (not always) make a relatively small number of official 2nd Editions in the same silk-screen workshop, using the same handmade, one-color-at-a-time techniques. Other copies of this poster have been displayed in museum exhibitions worldwide. The poster also has been included in books dedicated to Cuban poster art. Please note that this poster has not been re-printed in recent years in Cuba due to severe shortages of paint and paper on the island. Also note that offset reproductions of this poster have been made. The poster in this listing is a silk-screen that was made in Havana. Overall condition of this CINE MOVIL poster is good with some imperfections, including wrinkles on the borders. Buy with 100 percent confidence; posters purchased from the Cuban Poster Gallery on eBay can be returned for any reason within 30 days. About shipping: For buyers with an address in the United States, your purchase will be shipped FREE by USPS First Class Package Service with delivery confirmation. For international buyers (outside of the United States), eBay will calculate the cost of shipping and any required Customs duties and taxes. (We are also separately offering a book about the work of Eduardo Muñoz Bachs. You can find this book and others about Cuban art in our eBay Store or you can search on eBay for this book with the key words CUBAN BOOK BACHS ) TITLE: CINE MOVIL (Mobile Cinema) DESIGNER: Eduardo Muñoz Bachs (1937-2001) MEDIUM: Silk-screen / Serigraph SIZE: 20 x 30 inches; 51 x 76 cm ORIGIN: the ICAIC (Cuban Film Institute) silk-screen workshop in Havana, Cuba A few words about collecting Cuba’s silk-screen movie posters: For more than 60 years, the Cuban Film Institute has been designing silk-screened posters for most every movie shown on the island, whether the films originated in Cuba, the United States, Brazil, Japan or Italy. In the midst of the Cold War 1960s and 1970s, many of the subtitled foreign films shown in Cuba came from the island nation’s communist allies in the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Vietnam and even North Korea. Unlike in the United States, where movie posters are often dominated by images of Hollywood stars, the Cubans assign a graphic artist to design an original piece of artwork for each film. These posters are widely recognized in graphic design circles as stylish works of art, handmade one color at a time and often under difficult circumstances (at various times, paint and even paper have been in short supply on the island.) Cuba’s silk-screen movie posters are nothing less than museum pieces. Examples of Cuban poster art can be found in the permanent collections of museums across the globe from the Victoria & Albert in London to the Museum of Modern Art in New York, as well as in prestigious institutions such as the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles. Adding to their collectability, Cuba’s movie posters are produced in relatively small numbers. Typically, a few hundred copies are made for each film, although the runs have been as low as 50. Responding to demand from collectors, the Cuban Film Institute has re-screened some of its more popular posters. That’s why some posters created in the 1960s and 1970s began reappearing on the Caribbean island in the 1990s and 2000s. Further adding to their collectability, many of Cuba’s vintage posters are imperiled. Although a few hundred copies may have been screened originally, relatively few have survived, due to the island’s wet and humid climate, insect infestation, inadequate storage facilities in Havana and improper handling in Cuba and elsewhere. To us, these survivors are rare beauties, even those with obvious flaws. We are proud to have rescued hundreds of posters from almost certain extinction by storing them in an air conditioned, acid-free environment. We at the Cuban Poster Gallery offer both 1st and 2nd Edition posters to our customers on eBay and in our Washington D.C. gallery. We consider both to be collectible, and (in response to a question we often get) all of these posters were legally imported because the U.S. government exempts artwork from its economic embargo against Cuba. While the pricier originals are favored by some collectors, the re-screens are also collectible because they were made in the same Havana workshop as the originals. Note that we never sell unauthorized reproductions that have been cranked out in print shops in the U.S. and Europe. To our eBay customers, we pledge to accurately describe the posters we list and price them fairly based on condition and scarcity. Have a question? Please don’t hesitate to contact us.
