Description
Communist Posters: A Global Survey of Art and Propaganda. From images of powerful leaders to those of revolutionary ideals, communist regimes have relied on art to ensure the success of their revolutions. This global survey showcases an extraordinary variety of communist poster art from around the world, including works from the Soviet Union, China, Mongolia, North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, and several countries in Eastern Europe. These posters were used as tools of mobilization, instruction, censure, debate, and manipulation of public thought and opinion. Many have had a lasting impact due to their astonishing craft and beauty, and some have even found their way into museums. This collection offers a comprehensive look at the broad range of visual works that have expressed and fueled one of the most powerful political ideas of the modern era. The posters in this book are a testament to the enduring power of art in politics, and provide a unique insight into the ways in which communist regimes used visual propaganda to shape public opinion.
