This poster salutes the popular Cuban film & comic strip character Cecilín who with his best friend Coty -- a parrot! -- battles criminals and other anti-social elements.The Cecilín and Coty characters were created in 1979 by Afro-Cuban graphic artist Cecilio Aviles. This hard-to-find poster was designed by American comics artist and illustrator Darin Shuler. The poster was screen-printed in Havana. The “Happy Together” project was undertaken by two dozen graphic artists in Cuba and the United States who decided to use beloved cartoon and comic-strip characters from the two neighboring countries to highlight the diplomatic relations that were reestablished in December 2014 by U.S. President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro. The U.S. and Cuba became enemies in the early 1960s when they severed diplomatic relations. For the "Happy Together" project, the Cuban and U.S. artists created 24 limited-edition screen prints. In a stroke of diplomatic genius, the Cubans decided to design the U.S. cartoon characters, and the Americans designed the Cuban characters. The posters were unveiled during the prestigious Havana Art Biennial in May 2015. Only 75 copies were made of each screen-print to offer to the graphic arts market. Each poster is numbered. Overall condition of this handmade 20 x 28 inch poster is good. Buy with full confidence: any poster purchased on eBay from the Cuban Poster Gallery can be returned for a refund within 30 days.
