Serigraph Poster by Aquino: Tic Tac Toe

A game of tic-tac-toe nobody wins, struck through in red.

This serigraph poster was made in Cuba in the late 20th century, in pigment on paper. Cuban screenprinted posters are widely known for bold graphic design and pointed political commentary. The image is a three-by-three tic-tac-toe grid filled with black peace signs and swastikas, crossed by a single red diagonal line. The sheet is off-white, with soft yellowish stains and tone near the edges, and the black ink is flat and dense. A small mark appears in the lower corner.

About twenty by thirty inches. Provocative, and it knows it.
