Sixth Annual Plastic Arts Exhibition Poster - Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña (1971)

This is an original vintage screenprint (serigraph) poster dating to 1971, designed for the 6th Exhibition of the School of Plastic Arts of the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture. The artwork features a sophisticated, geometric-abstract typographic layout characteristic of the mid-20th-century Puerto Rican graphic arts movement. The central text is intricately woven into a grid of black, white, silver, and red geometric shapes, set against a vibrant green field. A double border of gold and black framing surrounds the composition. The lettering provides details for the event held in July 1971 at the Antiguo Convento de los Frailes Dominicos on Calle del Cristo in Old San Juan. The piece is signed with a localized 'R' monogram in the lower right corner of the red block, likely identifying the specific artist from the DIVEDCO or ICP circle. Physically, the poster is printed on medium-weight paper stock and shows visible signs of its age, including significant softening and creases to the corners, minor edge tears, and gentle rippling throughout the sheet. The ink saturation remains strong, though there is some light scuffing and surface soil visible in the green field. The craftsmanship reflects the high standard of silk-screening prevalent in Puerto Rico during this golden age of poster design, where graphic arts were used as a primary tool for cultural promotion.
