One of the common features of communist regimes is the use of art for revolutionary means. Posters in particular have served as beacons of propaganda vehicles of coercion, instruction, censure and debate in every communist nation. They have promoted the authority of state and revolution, but have also been used as an effective means of protest.
This is the first truly global survey of the history and variety of communist poster art. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field and examines a different region of the world: Russia, China, Mongolia, Eastern Europe, North Korea, Vietnam and Cuba. This beautifully illustrated, comprehensive survey will appeal to a wide audience interested in art, history and politics.
