• ★ Influential Photographs: Guerrillero Heroico, 1960 by Alberto Korda

  
  His eyes did not gaze into the photographer’s eyes but his statuesque expression extraordinarily shows authority and tension. This portrait of a man with a beret is like the male Mona Lisa in black and white film – enigmatic in every way.
