posters.

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.
