A famous photograph of Che Guevara, immortalized on March 5, 1960, by Cuban photographer Alberto Korda, this charismatic portrait of Che with his dark, rebellious gaze traveled the world and stood the test of time.
Alberto Korda tells us that a demonstration had been organized by Fidel Castro in tribute to the victims of the sabotage of the French ship La Coubre, which was anchored in Cuban waters. A platform had been set up, and it was then that Che Guevara appeared in the background of Fidel Castro, who was accompanied by Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre. His dark and intense gaze was captured on the spot by the photographer. But this photo was not retained by the revolutionary newspaper "Revolución," which did not publish it until February 1961. Its notoriety was acquired after the revolutionary's death on October 9, 1967, when the Italian publisher Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, who had purchased a set of photos of Che Guevara from Korda the previous summer, printed the portrait on several posters, which he sold thousands of copies of. The legend was in the making.
