4.0 out of 5 stars
More of a catalogue than a book.,
By
This review is from: Power of the Poster (Paperback)
I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this book when I bought it. It ended up being a catalogue from an exhibit held at the V&A Museum in England. Now, if you like posters, this is a great book, regardless. The exhibit focuses on 225 posters from the late 1800s to today. While there are some posters included from the United States and other countries, the vast majority of these posters are from Britain. As with most exhibition catalogues, the text is made up of essays from various contributors. Some of the themes presented are 'Posters as Propaganda', 'Posters for Performance', and "Commercial Advertising". If you are looking for more of a book on the history of poster art or graphic design, I would recommend Meggs' History of Graphic Design.
