Film Posters of the Third Reich
by
William Gillespie and Joel Nelson
This
book is the first-ever to reproduce in full color over 50 posters which
are the rarest of the rare - those designed to promote the most infamous
and notorious propaganda films produced by Dr Goebbels. Many of these
posters have never been reproduced in color after 1945 until now, and
many are the only examples known to exist. They are drawn from the
private collections of the two authors after forty years of collecting.
Published in 2007. Paperback. 140 pages. 11.5 x 8.5 in. $29.95.

from the Hoover Institution Archives by P. Paret, B. Irwin Lewis.
Historian Walton Rawls combines a stirring popular
history of America's role in World War I with a remarkable collection of posters that
boldly demonstrate their artistic worth. The text concentrates on the all-absorbing
historical and political context in which the posters were created. The result is a
fascinating look at these artifacts, which can be appreciated today both as graphic
masterworks and as illustrations of a tragic historical episode. Recommended!

Revolucion: Cuban Poster Art
by Lincoln
Cushing
The poster was the popular art form in Cuba
following the Cuban Revolution, when the government sponsored some 10,000 public posters
on a fascinating range of cultural, social, and political themes. Revolución, produced
with unprecedented access to Cuban national archives, assembles nearly 150 of these
powerful but little-seen works of popular art from the 1960s through the 1980s. With an
introduction illuminating the rich social and artistic history of the posters, and rare
biographical information on the artists themselves, this striking volume offers a window
into the story of Cuba.
