Description
A striking mural of Latin American cultural icon Ernesto "Che" Guevara wearing a traditional cowboy beret on an old building in the San Telmo district of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The painting is a version of the famous "El Guerrillero Heroico" / "Heroic Guerrilla Fighter" photograph taken by the great Cuban photographer Alberto Korda in 1960. The photo is the basis for most of the modern images of Che and as a result is thought to be possibly the most reproduced photograph of all time. The accompanying slogan encourages passers by to use condoms when making love!
