Art by Antonio Fernandez Reboiro (b. 1935)

This film adaptation of Herman Melville's novel of the same name was directed by John Huston. The screenplay was written by Huston and Ray Bradbury. The film stars Gregory Peck, Richard Basehart and Leo Genn. It tells the story, through the only survivor of a lost whaling ship, of his captain's fixation to hunt the white whale, Moby Dick. Cuban posters have a very distinctive vibrant style. Antonio Fernandez Reboiro designed many film posters and is a highly respected artist, with works in MoMA's permanent collection. This very rare original release Cuban poster does not surface very often.
