30 Cuban Performing Arts Programs

Visually and conceptually fascinating, Cuban national revolutionary graphics during this period were notable for the plurality of their design. These examples display the influences of Pop and Op art, minimalism, montage, and collage as well as inventive experiments with the form of the program itself. Profusely illustrated, characteristic examples of Cuban post-revolutionary design are coupled with distinctive, often lengthy, “program notes” that contextualize each event within Communist Party doctrine.
