Abstract

In this essay I will explore the different meanings and purposes that some representative posters show of the golden age of Mexican cinema. Specifically I delve into film posters that the remarkable artist, Ernesto García Cabral, El Chango, created for some of the most successful films of German Valdés, Tin Tan. Although the posters changed the urban environment and the representations of reality, I’m interested in examining how their representational universe – hilarious sense of humor– influenced the creation of collective imageries.
