This poster was created for the Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña to commemorate Press Week. Its composition is designed to resemble the front page of a newspaper, with a masthead and logo across the top, the principal title beneath it, and additional information positioned in the lower-right portion. Set against a deep Prussian blue background, the design combines text, symbols, and engraved-style images, visually linking journalism with the traditions of printmaking and graphic communication.
The Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña (ICP) was established through Law 89 on June 21, 1955, with the mission of promoting, preserving, and disseminating Puerto Rican arts and culture. From its early years, the institution became one of the island’s most important supporters of the visual arts and played a major role in the development of Puerto Rico’s internationally recognized poster tradition.
In 1957, the ICP organized its Graphic Arts Workshop under the direction of Lorenzo Homar. The workshop became an important center for printmaking, typography, illustration, and poster design, producing promotional works for exhibitions, theater festivals, ballet performances, craft fairs, historical commemorations, tributes, competitions, museums, the Casals Festival, La Casa del Libro, and many other cultural programs.
Luis Alonso joined the ICP Graphic Arts Workshop in 1974 and remained associated with it until 1996. His work formed part of a generation of Puerto Rican graphic artists who transformed institutional announcements into sophisticated works of art. By adopting the visual structure of a newspaper for this Press Week design, the poster celebrates both the role of the press in public communication and the close relationship between journalism, typography, illustration, and Puerto Rican graphic culture.
