Media: The Greatest Cartoonist You've Never Heard Of
This post is just the tip of the iceberg... see reason number 6 on our The Top Ten Reasons To Support The A-HAA for links to more great posts about golden age illustration.
Ernesto Garcia Cabral (nicknamed Chango) was one of Mexico's greatest political cartoonists and illustrators. He studied art in Paris just before WWI, and became well known there as a cartoonist. He returned to Mexico in 1918 and quickly became one of the country's premiere illustrators. He was known for his expressive caricatures, which illustrated the posters for Mexican film comedies throughout the forties and fifties.Cabral is almost unknown outside of Mexico, but that is changing. A recent book, Cine Mexicano: Posters from the Golden Age 1936-1956 featured some of his best work.

Enjoy!

awesome!
What a great collection! Thanks for sharing and thanks for the ebay link!
Gracias!! As a Chicano, I can honestly say this warms my heart. You're more than kind to share your scans and to offer the Ebay tip!!
I'm Mexican, and became aware of García Cabral's work about ten years ago. His work has been one of my biggest influences, and I love that I can find more and more examples of his huge talent on blogs such as this one.
¡Muchas gracias!
