About this poster:
This vintage travel poster, created around 1935 by acclaimed artist Conrado Walter Massaguer, captures the vibrant spirit of Cuba. The design features a joyful woman in traditional attire, dancing with maracas against a striking blue background. Executed in a bold Art Deco style, the illustration uses dynamic lines and a rich color palette of red, white, and blue to evoke a sense of energy, music, and celebration. The direct and inviting message, "Visit Cuba," is rendered in playful, stylized lettering that integrates seamlessly with the artwork.
The poster was commissioned by the Cuban Tourist Commission, a government department established to promote Cuba as a premier travel destination, particularly to American tourists during the pre-revolutionary era. Massaguer was a leading figure in Cuban commercial art, and his work for the commission was instrumental in creating an alluring and exotic image of the island. This piece idealizes Cuban culture, focusing on the popular "rumbera" or rumba dancer, to symbolize the festive and exciting experience awaiting visitors.
