MuVIM. Quevedo, 10
To inaugurate its cycle Power and propaganda, MUVIM has chosen Cuba, A small island with a huge history. The cycle aims to investigate how the image of power is constructed and how powerful art is from a propaganda point of view.. In this first exhibition the main creations of the most prolific and relevant Cuban graphic artists who developed their work between 1959 y 1989, that is to say, from the triumph of the Revolution to the fall of the Berlin Wall, thus tracing a journey through the recent political and social history of the island. Images of Che Guevara or Fidel Castro are interspersed with cultural or cinematographic posters, all impregnated with the language and style of Cuban designers, that elevate the poster to the category of a work of art. As Rafael Company says, director of the MuVIM, “The museum must tell what has not been said before.”, and it must be done with the language of images.”; and this is the function of these posters that tell us so much, filling our eyes with joy and our brains with reflection.
