South Dakota senator George McGovern's 1972 presidential bid was
one of the most memorable campaigns in American political history.
Despite McGovern's landslide loss to the incumbent Richard Nixon,
McGovern's campaign attracted widespread grassroots support, and
his campaign posters represent a landmark in the history of U.S.
campaign memorabilia in terms of the sheer number and quality of
posters produced in support of the candidate. Like Barack Obama's
run for the presidency in 2008, McGovern's campaign stoked the
imagination of the artistic community. World-famous
artists-including Andy Warhol, Alexander Calder, Larry Rivers, Sam
Francis, Thomas W. Benton, Sister Corita, and Paul Davis-produced
posters in support of McGovern that captured a generation's efforts
to bring about major political change. George McGovern and the
Democratic Insurgents, with nearly three hundred stunning images,
provides an illustrated journey through the protest and psychedelic
rock posters of the 1960s, the posters of Eugene McCarthy's 1968
presidential campaign, the poster explosion of George McGovern's
1972 campaign, and the best campaign posters from 1976 to 2012. A
historical examination of the graphic precedents for this
politicized art form, Hal Elliott Wert's collection offers readers
a singular insight into artistic invention and activism in the
United States.
