Folded exhibition brochure issued for a 1973 exhibition of contemporary Cuban ceramics held at the Galeria de La Habana and published by Consejo Nacional de Cultura. 8vo (approximately 6.25” x 8.25”), illustrated. Featuring works by Antonio Romero, Alfredo Sosabravo, Fernando Velázquez, Reinaldo Calvo, and José Fuster, with an introductory essay by Manuel López Oliva. A distinguished association copy, warmly inscribed by participating artist Reinaldo Calvo to the celebrated Nicaraguan painter Armando Morales, linking two important figures in postwar Latin American art. Beyond its documentary importance, the brochure is a striking example of Cuban institutional graphic design at its mid-century peak, combining a restrained two-color palette, modernist typography, and an abstracted pre-Columbian ceramic motif in a composition that reflects the sophistication of Cuba's cultural publishing during the period. Apparently unrecorded in this format: OCLC locates a related exhibition poster but no copy of the present folded brochure, suggesting exceptional rarity. Lght bumping and rubbing to extremities, with mild foxing to rear panel, and minor closed tears to edges of center fold.
An elegant survival documenting the emergence of modern Cuban studio ceramics, enhanced by a significant artist-to-artist presentation inscription.
