Che Guevara Photo

Published 2007 October 5

“The unchecked proliferation of the picture—based on a photograph by Alberto Korda in 1960—is partly due to a political choice by Korda and others not to demand payment for non-commercial use of the image.” — Stephanie Holmes, BBC News

Jim Fitzpatrick, graphic artist who produced the drawing from Korda’s photo:

“The way they killed him, there was to be no memorial, no place of pilgrimage, nothing. I was determined that the image should receive the broadest possible circulation. His image will never die, his name will never die.”
