Make Art Not War - Political Protest Posters from the Twentieth Century (Paperback)

An extraordinarily visceral collection of posters that represent
the progressive protest movements of the twentieth Century. Two of
the most recognizable images of twentieth-century art are Pablo
Picasso's "Guernica" and the rather modest mass-produced poster by
an unassuming illustrator, Lorraine Schneider "War is Not Healthy
for Children and Other Living Things." From Picasso's masterpiece
to a humble piece of poster art, artists have used their talents to
express dissent and to protest against injustice and immorality. As
the face of many political movements, posters are essential for
fueling recruitment, spreading propaganda, and sustaining morale.
Disseminated by governments, political parties, labor unions and
other organizations, political posters transcend time and span the
entire spectrum of political affiliations and philosophies. Drawing
on the celebrated collection in the Tamiment Library's Poster and
Broadside Collection at New York University, Ralph Young has
compiled an extraordinarily visceral collection of posters that
represent the progressive protest movements of the twentieth
Century: labor, civil rights, the Vietnam War, LGBT rights,
feminism and other minority rights. Make Art Not War can be enjoyed
on aesthetic grounds alone, and also offers fascinating and
revealing insights into twentieth century cultural, social and
political history.
