Serigraph Poster by Eduardo Muñoz Bachs: Filminutos
About this piece
Green skin, bat wings and a crisp bow tie. He looks ready to deliver a short speech.
This serigraph poster, Filminutos, is by Eduardo Muñoz Bachs, from Cuba, dated 1983, in pigment on paper. Silkscreened film posters became a celebrated Cuban art form after the founding of the film institute ICAIC, and Muñoz Bachs is generally counted among its best known designers. A green-faced figure with red eyes and slicked black hair stands behind a white box on a tall stand, wrapped in pink, bat-like wings. The title runs across the top in playful, mismatched letters on a brown ground, and the artist's name appears at lower left. It is 20 inches wide and 30 high.
Brief films, and a host who never sees daylight.
