Peace Signs - The Anti-War Movement Illustrated

James Mann (Editor), Howard Zinn (Foreword) Published 2004 by Edition OLMS Zurich Paperback - 208 pages illustrated throughout ISBN 3-283-00487-0 Text in English, French & German

By utilising the internet for anti-war petitions and websites, these anti-invasion posters and graphics from over 20 countries were created for rallies around the world opposing the war in Iraq. As the introduction explains, "The idea of the skilled, trained artist was erased with the influx of computer design programs, scanners and photocopy machines, nearly any person with an idea could create a thought-provoking visual statement. Instead of relying on a handful of well-known political artists, an inclusive mass movement was born". This collection of bold uncensored graphics are sometimes humorous, sometimes outrageous, yet no more outrageous than war itself. An enlightening introduction combining a history of poster art provides a backdrop to this valuable and thought-provoking survey.
