Commissioned for the Centro Gubernamental de Ponce, this piece exemplifies Rosa’s minimalist, linear portraiture. The use of gold and black tones evokes a sense of both sophistication and accessibility, reflecting the balance the government sought in its cultural outreach efforts during the mid-1970s. The artwork’s clean lines and restrained palette create a timeless aesthetic that resonates with the institution’s commitment to fostering a connection between governance and the community through art.
This poster documents the decentralization of Puerto Rican cultural policy in the 1970s. The ICP and regional cultural centers (like Centro Gubernamental de Ponce) began organizing art festivals outside San Juan to democratize access to the arts.
Rosa’s design, with its stylized figure surrounded by crafted objects, echoes the Bauhaus-inspired minimalism that entered ICP design studios in the 1970s under Homar’s mentorship.
The work bridges the worlds of fine art and community participation — a central theme in Puerto Rican cultural policy at the time.
