Product Description

Product Description
The political poster was one of the most widely discredited and closely policed aspects of cultural life in the former Communist Bloc. As a weapon in an ideologically defined social struggle for human emancipation and as a medium of critical engagement, the poster had a decisive political and social status it could never aspire to in the West. The poster's history is a story of aesthetic, political and finally, national liberation. The nature of the political poster can be seen to move from the empty rhetorics of political sloganeering to become a weapon of criticism and resistance. This comprehensively illustrated analysis of political poster design - drawn from major collections in Bellorussia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Slovenia and the Ukraine - exemplifies the aesthetic diversity of the region under communist rule.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspiration, 14 Mar 2003

By	"cheesiness" - See all my reviews

For two authors this book is courageous to say the least. It seeks to cover the communist/ socialist posters of the entire post-war period into the post-Communist era (1995) and to cover Eastern and Central Europe (including Russia).

It is extensively referenced and looks chronologically at many patterns in the use of the poster in particular, the boundaries it imposed around the communist bloc and in enforcing the ideal of unity.

The book has many prints in it, although in my opinion, too many of them in black and white, thus sometimes diluting their power. Inevitably in a book of this scope, a great deal of text is necessary to justify dealing with such a wide geographical and historic range. It could be the pressure of the working day or more likely the ominous layout of the text, but despite the inviting chapter headings, the print did not look inviting and I yearned for a few more images in all their timeless appeal.

A small request for the writers if they visit this page and another edition is planned in the future- please could you include a few more of the many striking Lenin posters on offer?
