About the Item

Minimalist yet hypnotically bold, this 1971 original OSPAAAL poster by Cuban artist Ernesto Padrón was created for the global Week of Solidarity with Vietnam. Issued by OSPAAAL (Organization of Solidarity with the People of Asia, Africa and Latin America), the poster is a striking example of revolutionary graphic design at its peak. In a limited palette of reds, browns, and cream, Padrón constructs a powerful visual metaphor: rifle silhouettes rise from a dense field of target-like concentric circles, referencing both the intensity of anti-colonial resistance and the dehumanizing precision of modern warfare. At once abstract and direct, the composition compels viewers into a moment of focus and empathy. The multilingual call—"Together with Viet Nam"—appears in Spanish, English, and French, reinforcing the internationalist mission of OSPAAAL to unite voices across continents against imperialism and militarism. Distributed folded inside Tricontinental magazine, posters like this one were meant not for commercial display, but for activist walls and student dormitories around the world. This poster is not only a brilliant feat of visual communication but also a symbol of Cold War-era cultural resistance, where art, politics, and design merged into a unified global cause. A collectible relic of revolutionary print history. Politics - Asia - Vietnam Ospaaal - Cuba
