Carles Fontseré (1916 March 92007) was one of the important Catalan anarchist poster artists of the Spanish Revolution.

Catalan artist loyal to the memory of revolutionary Spain, Fontseré produced many of the best-known & inspiring posters of the Spanish Civil War.

Fontseréʼs greatest achievements, both inspired by the anarchist flame, came at the start & the end of his life. He was the youngest — & the last survivor — of the revolutionary poster artists of 1936. More recently, he published three volumes of autobiography, Memòries d'un cartellista català (Memoirs of a Catalan Poster Artist, 1995), Un exiliat de tercera (A Third-Class Exile) & París, Mèxic, Nova York (both 2004). These long, excellently written books are detailed, historically researched accounts of his Civil War & exile experience.
