This photograph is of the influential Cuba leader, Che Guevara, which was token by Alberto Korda.in Havana, Cuba, at a memorial service for victims of the La Coubre explosion and by the end of the 1960s turned the charismatic and controversial leader into a cultural icon.[1] Korda has said that at the moment he shot the picture, he was drawn to Guevara's facial expression, which showed "absolute implacability"[2] as well as anger and pain.[3] Years later, Korda would say that the photo showed Che's firm and stoic character.[4] Guevara was 31 at the time the photo was taken.
Emphasizing the image's ubiquitous nature and wide appeal, the Maryland Institute College of Art called the picture a symbol of the 20th century and the world's most famous photo.[5] Versions of it have been painted, printed, digitized, embroidered, tattooed, silk-screened, sculpted or sketched on nearly every surface imaginable, leading the Victoria and Albert Museum to say that the photo has been reproduced more than any other image in photography.
This image of Ernesto Ernesto "Che" Guevara was taken by Alberto Korda on March 5, 1960 it is an iconic image because this image show a revolutionary leader of Cuba. This picture has been seen many times by the public and time magazine says as one of the most important images to date. It is a very powerful photograph that shows many extreme emotions, such as anger or pride. The photo was shown many time and has become a pop icon.
I think the this picture of che Guevara is an iconic photo because of the strong expression on his face that stands him out from the crowd. Also the pictue is remade many timrd
