Eduardo Muñoz Bachs
Eduardo Muñoz Bachs (1937–2001) was a Cuban poster artist and comics artist. He was born on April 12, 1937, in Valencia, Spain, but moved to Cuba with his parents in 1941. In 1960, with no formal training in graphic design, he made the first poster for the ''Instituto Cubano de Arte e Industria Cinematograficos'' ( ICAIC) that was founded shortly after the Cuban Revolution to produce and promote Cuban films. The association with ICAIC lasted for a lifetime, and Bachs made over 2,000 movie posters for the institution. In his posters, the human figure, the face, or the entire body, are predominant and recurrent. Although colors are eye-catching and wide-ranging, they are never shocking. The drawing with childish and comic features and hand-made calligraphy define a large part of Muñoz Bach's poster for the ICAIC, creating a unique style within the Cuban poster design of the half of the 20th century and serving as inspiration to notable contemporary Cuban poster artists such a ...

Cuban Art
Cuban art is an exceptionally diverse cultural blend of African, South American, European, and North American elements, reflecting the diverse demographic makeup of the island. Cuban artists embraced European modernism, and the early part of the 20th century saw a growth in Cuban avant-garde movements, which were characterized by the mixing of modern artistic genres. Some of the more celebrated 20th-century Cuban artists include Amelia Peláez (1896–1968), best known for a series of mural projects, and painter Wifredo Lam (December 8, 1902 – September 11, 1982), who created a highly personal version of modern primitivism. The Cuban-born painter Federico Beltran Masses (1885–1949), was renowned as a colorist whose seductive portrayals of women sometimes made overt references to the tropical settings of his childhood. Better known internationally is the work of photographer Alberto Korda, whose photographs following the early days of the Cuban Revolution included a picture o ...

Erick Ginard
Erick Ginard (born September 8, 1979) is a contemporary visual artist and the most internationally awarded Cuban poster artist since the Cuban poster boom of the 1970s. Early life Erick Ginard, the first child of two medical professionals, was born in Marianao, Havana, Cuba. Although spending his formative years in Havana, his family later relocated to Las Tunas in eastern Cuba, following their appointment by the Cuban government for a social mission.

Throughout his college years, he viewed himself as an underperforming student, yet he was steadfast in his decision to pursue a career outside of medicine ...

Film Poster
A film poster is a poster used to promote and advertise a film primarily to persuade paying customers into a theater to see it. Studios often print several posters that vary in size and content for various domestic and international markets. They normally contain an image with text. Today's posters often feature printed likenesses of the main actors. Prior to the 1980s, illustrations instead of photos were far more common. The text on film posters usually contains the film title in large lettering and often the names of the main actors. It may also include a tagline, the name of the director, names of characters, the release date, and other pertinent details to inform prospective viewers about the film. Film posters are often displayed inside and on the outside of movie theaters, and elsewhere on the street or in shops. The same images appear in the film exhibitor's pressbook and may also be used on websites, DVD (and historically VHS) packaging, flyers, advertisements in newspap ...
