Description from the seller
Ernesto “Che” Guevara — Cuba, 1960
Impactful press portrait of Ernesto “Che” Guevara, taken in 1960, in which he appears smoking a cigar and looking directly at the camera. The strength of the framing, the concentrated expression and the characteristic gesture turn this image into a portrait with great visual presence.
Compared to action or volunteer work photographs, this image stands out for its iconic and psychological character, showing Che in a very recognizable close-up during the early years of the Cuban Revolution.
The back preserves the stamp of A.D.P. – Agence Diffusion Presse, Paris, which confirms its provenance as a photograph intended for editorial circulation and international press.
An especially attractive piece for collectors of historic photojournalism, Cuban Revolution, Che Guevara and 20th-century political iconography, with a large format and a powerful image for display in a collection.
