FiIm Posters
The topics of DIVEDCO’s didactic products ranged widely, as can be seen from the selection of posters featured in this exhibit at the Snite Museum of Art. This collection constitutes a representative sample of the best work done by the DIVEDCO throughout its 40-years of existence. For decades the posters have remained the DIVEDCO’s most widely recognized and valued products, and they are prized commodities among collectors of Puerto Rican, Caribbean, and Latin American art. This is due in part to the fact that most of them were designed by the island’s best-known and most accomplished graphic artists – Lorenzo Homar, Rafael Tufiño, Antonio Maldonado, Carlos Raquel Rivera, Eduardo Vera Cortés, Rafael Delgado Castro, and José Meléndez Contreras – who did much to turn the silk screen into the most popular printmaking technique in Puerto Rico.
