The author of the 1989 poster Javier Mariscal (Valencia, 1950), was on the crest of the wave, not only of design, but even of art, in its broadest sense, with exhibitions two years before in El Center Georges Pompidou de Par s and in the Documenta de Kassel. A nms, the year 89 Mariscal was in the mouth of everyone, having made the design of Cob i, chosen as mascot of the Olympic Games of Barcelona 92. We are without a doubt, before the most outstanding professional of the design or, among all those who have signed any of the posters of the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, regardless of the greater or lesser success, or lace, in the particular idiosyncrasy of the chicharreros and their most outstanding party. Marshal introduces us to a gentleman, with his tie and black hat, in a close-up portrait, with certain echoes of the way they represented the faces of the covered painters.
