Picasso designed the poster to the Spanish-American exhibition in the gallery Henri Tronche. The Spanish living outside of Spain dominated by the dictator Franco "restent toujours espagnols de coeur, d'esprit, de temperament, de langue meme, et peintres avant tout. Car la qualité de l'ensemble réuni ici donne une singulière portée à cette exposition. Qu'il nous suffise de mentionner à l'intention des amateurs les noms qui nous sont les plus familiers, ceux de Clavé, Dominguez, Flores, Parra, Peinado, Palmeiro, Fin et Vines, parmi les Américains Lam, Siqueiros, Raborda, Barrios". (exposition review in "Arts. Beaux Arts, Litterature, Spectacles", num.337, Paris 14.12.1951, p.5, cit. at Bravo, 1996, p. 155 note 15)
Participating artist were Antoni Clavé, Óscar Dominguez, Joaquin Peinado, José Palmeiro, José Fin, Hernando Vines, then Wifredo Lam, David Alfari Siqueiros, Americo Taborda among others...
There are two other variants of the motive Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, but not designed in the poster, see Rodrigo 1971, p.52.
