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.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.
