As our regular customers in Georgetown
know, Cuban graphics are recognized worldwide for their beauty.  Please see the images we have posted with
this listing! Copies of many of the posters you'll be seeing at our DC Big Flea
show are in the permanent collection of the Academy of Motion Picture and Arts
and Sciences' library in Los Angeles, the Library of Congress in D.C. as well

as museums worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the
Victoria and Albert in London. 

The handmade Cuban
silk-screen movie posters that we will be offering measure a standard 20 x 30
inches and are easy and inexpensive to frame. 

The Cuban Film Institute
commissions a silk-screen poster for almost every movie shown on the island,
whether it be from Cuba, the
U.S., Russia, France, Japan etc. So
expect to see gorgeous posters for foreign films such as Clockwork Orange (this
poster is hand-signed by the artist), the Three Musketeers, Silence of the
Lambs (signed), Schindler's List and Rebel Without A Cause, as well as for
classic Cuban films such as Lucia, Vampires in Havana and Strawberry and
Chocolate.  

Interior decorators, take
note: Many of these posters work beautifully well together.  

We will also be offering a
few dozen smaller Havana-made movie posters priced from $22 to $35. And we will be offering many
modern and vintage propaganda and solidarity posters from Cuba. No matter
what you think of the causes these posters support, Cuban propaganda posters
are also artistic and scarce collectibles, many of them historical relics of
the Cold War. Some were designed to celebrate major figures from the Cuban
revolution, while others express Cuba's solidarity with various
movements such as anti-Apartheid and U.S. Civil Rights. Most of these posters
are priced from $29 to $129 each.

We hope to see you Saturday
and Sunday (March 1 and 2) at the DC Big Flea show in Chantilly, Va.
