Félix Beltrán
This is a contribution to the history of graphic design from an Ibero-American perspective. Félix Beltrán's importance stems from his vital and cultural connections. Born in Cuba, he is a tireless traveler with a multitude of influences: local Caribbean culture, Bauhaus Constructivism, Isotype, American Modernism, the Swiss School, Objective Photography, Concrete Art, Minimalism, and Pop Art. His work is a testament to his time, both politically and socially, and culturally. Thus, after 17 years of research, the exhibition reviews the relationships between publishing and curating, books and exhibitions as interconnected practices that construct new narratives for 20th-century graphic design culture through the iconic images created by the designer and diverse ephemeral printed material that will shed new light on a key figure in understanding the importance of Ibero-American design, whose powerful creations project a highly impactful political or social message.
