1974 ART Painting 4 MEXICAN Movie Poster"Calzoncin"film

This is a 1974 mockup or original painting (BOCETO in Spanish, meaning there is only one.This one) for the poster "Calzoncin Inspector" Mexican movie from 1973 directed by Alfonzo Arau . It was painted by Eduardo Muñoz Bachs. He is one of the greatest and high prolific poster designers and signed in the back by him. It has the approved signature from the government and although I have a copy of the poster in my collection I couldn't find the picture. Since the printing of the original silkscreened posters were limited to around 200 copies chances are that only a handful exists today. I found a published picture of the original poster.
This drawing was the first step in the production of silkscreen movie posters. This was the design that was later photographed and enlarge to 20x30 inches and this is the reason they sometimes have the crisscross pencil pattern. In some other cases the artist would mark a clear plastic instead to protect the painted image, specially if they were fond to the painting. Judge the condition by the picture. These paintings were neglected for years. Once the poster was produced, the mockup was stored in a corner box were humidity and pests destroyed 99% of them. I rescued about 100 of them, the rest was trashed. When Eduardo Bachs died, the National Museum made a posthumous exhibition of his work they only found only 14 original drawings in the entire country. The artist himself only kept a couple that were adquired by the museum. Most of all artist like Niko and Bachs rarely kept samples of their work. This is the reason these mockups are so rare and of great interest for the collector.
Measures 6 x10 inches(16x25cm).The artist tempera brush strokes are clearly visible and the lettering in the title are painted directly on the board. This is a unique piece of poster history that I am sure will be a treasure for the fine collector.
