{"product_id":"elpidio-valdes","title":"Elpidio Valdes, Cuban Release","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lively 1994 Cuban silkscreen by Muñoz Bach celebrates one of Cuba’s most beloved animated heroes, Elpidio Valdés. Created by director Juan Padrón for ICAIC Animación, the character became a national favorite for his swashbuckling adventures set during Cuba’s wars of independence. He was brave, funny, and proudly Cuban, which made him a perfect fit for the bold visual storytelling that defined the island’s animation studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuñoz Bach brings his unmistakable hand to the design, filling the poster with loose ink lines, playful shapes, and a helmet stamped with the Cuban flag. Bach was one of ICAIC’s most creative voices and was known for turning even a simple announcement into something full of personality. Here he lets Elpidio peek out from behind a burst of colorful decorative forms, as if hiding in plain sight, ready for his next mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCuban silkscreens of this era were printed through tightly controlled state workshops known for their craftsmanship and limited output. Surviving examples are prized for their saturated colors, handmade textures, and the unmistakable energy of Cuba’s graphic arts scene. This poster is a bright reminder of a milestone moment in Cuban animation and reflects the humor and spirit that made Elpidio Valdés a cultural icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Size\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30.0\" x 20.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Artist\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Munoz Bachs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Condition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
