"Orient Breezes. Spanish Commercial poster (1870-1970)"
From December 19, 2011 until April 08, 2012
This exhibition compiles up to a hundred of commercial posters from the period which are related to the attraction and fascination of the Arab Orient as a publicity lure.
It is a representative selection of one of the lesser known areas of the romantic Orientalism applied to commercial publicity, particularly to our unique Al-Andalus Orient which enjoys a special central position.
The exhibition shows original pieces from 1871 to 1964, which make closer the aesthetics of the period through some trade marks which today are still well known: beauty products, food, drinks, North African tourism, etc. And in all of them, the Oriental world is that fantastic place where publicity brings us to.
On January 16th, the exhibition opening will take place at Casa Árabe’s headquarter in Córdoba (c/ Samuel de los Santos Gener, 8) at 19.30. Free entrance.
The exhibition will be opened until April 15th from Monday to Saturday, from 11.00 to 15.00 and from 16.00 to 19.00, and Sunday and holidays from 11.00 to 15.00.
