About This Item
Synopsis
Drawing on the V+A's extensive poster collection, this book traces the evolution of the poster in the hands of graphic designers and fine artists, advertising agencies and countercultural groups in Britain since 1945.The range spans 'Keep Britain Tidy' campaigns, lavishly produced Benson and Hedges billboards, punk rock posters, hand-printed indictments of Margaret Thatcher and public art projects on the Underground. From conflicts over the content and control of public space to posters blu-tacked to our bedroom walls, Catherine Flood examines how the poster in Britain has adapted itself to a changing technological environment and defied predictions of its demise.
