Mai '68: Collection of 21 Posters. 1968.
Fifty years ago, a small student anti-capitalist movement in Paris quickly escalated into mass protests, a general strike across France, and street battles against police and university administrators. To this day, it's considered a cultural, social, and moral turning point in the history of France. The best and most important documents that survive from that time, by far, are posters like these: simple silkscreens that speak volumes through bold graphics and brutal slogans. Most were created by the student-run Atelier Populaire in the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. All posters are linen-backed; several have the stamp of the Atelier Populaire. (21)
Size: Various
Condition: Overall excellent condition.
Reference: Mai 68; Encyclopedie/Weill, p. 370; PAI-LXXIV, 180
Key Words: War & Propaganda; Modern
