Published in 1970, The Art of Revolution helped introduce the world to the electric visual language and international impact of Cuban revolutionary graphic design. The series incorporates large-folio reprints of striking, vividly coloured posters originally issued in Cuba between 1965 and 1968, a period when revolutionary print culture reached a remarkable peak—part political message, part modernist artwork. The posters were produced by key state and internationalist publishers, including OSPAAAL (the Organization of Solidarity with the People of Asia, Africa and Latin America), Casa de las Américas, the Consejo Nacional de Cultura, the Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematográficos (ICAIC), and the Comité Organizador Revolucionario. Working with limited materials but extraordinary creative freedom, leading graphic artists combined bold colour, photomontage, and inventive typography to create images that mobilised international solidarity & revolution, promoted Cuban culture and cinema, and projected Cuba’s revolutionary message abroad. Today, these works stand as enduring icons of propaganda and as classics of 20th-century graphic art.
