About the Item

ANTONIO FERNÁNDEZ REBOIRO Silkscreen of ALICIA ALONSO in the Ballet CARMEN 1970.....SPECIAL WINTER SALE PRICE....$790 Pop-Op Art original vintage silkscreen poster of ballet super-star ALICIA ALONSO in her renowned portrayal of CARMEN by Cuban artist Antonio Fernandez Reboiro created in 1970 for the Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Arts and Industry. Engraved on the lower right is “Reboiro/70”. The silkscreen is in bright brilliant colors and is a fine example of mid-20th century poster art. Antonio Fernández Reboiro (1935 - 2020) was a renowned Postwar and Contemporary Cuban graphic artist best known for the film posters he designed for the Instituto Cubano de Arte e Industria Cinematográficos (Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Arts and Industry). The ICAIC offered Reborn a true laboratory of experimentation for two decades where he had formal freedom to give free rein to an overflowing imagination influenced by both Art Nouveau, Art Deco and geometric constructivism enabling him to become an international leader of the mid-20th Century popular movements in optical illusion art, pop art and psychedelic art. Reboiro was born to Spanish immigrants in Nuevitas, Cuba in 1935. He studied architecture and design at the University of Havana and from 1964 on worked as a poster designer for ICAIC for 20 years. In 1975, he won the Grand Prix at the Poster Expo at the Cannes International Film Festival. In1982 Reborio moved to Spain where he continues to work as a graphic artist in various media until his death in 2020. Reboiro’s works are in the collections of art museums throughout the world including the collections of New York’s MOMA, Victoria & Albert Museum in London and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. ALICIA ALONSO (1920 – 2019) was a world renowned Cuban prima ballerina assoluta who founded the Ballet Nacional de Cuba in 1955. She had serious sight problems throughout her career and trained dance partners to assist in her sense of direction. Alicia Alonso replaced Alicia Markova in 1948 for a performance of Giselle at American Ballet Theatre which brought her critical acclaim. She continued to dance with ABT for many years and became a favorite partner of Igor Youskevitch. Throughout the 1950s she was a principal ballerina with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo and the Paris Opera Ballet and made guest appearances throughout Europe and with the Bolshoi and Kirov Ballets in Russia. Alicia gave her last performance in 1995. She is best known for her portrayal of Giselle and her dramatic ballet interpretation of Carmen. This brilliant handmade silkscreen poster measures 20 x 29 5/8 inches with the primary image 18 inches by 28 inches. It was dry mounted on acid free board in 1980 and was stored away from light. The image is lined with an antique white 4ply mat to keep the ink from contacting the front protective glass. The frame is matte black measuring 1 1/2 inch wide and 3/4 inch deep. The finished product measures in total 22 3/4 x 32 1/2 inches. The protective glass is ultra-violet protective plexiglass. The work is ready for hanging. The poster was printed by hand with the silkscreen technique. The ink is thick flat matte and has retained its brilliance and color. As per age, there are a few areas where the paint is lightly cracked. These areas are small and do not effect the visual quality of the artwork. Please see photographs for detail.
