At The French Library Get Directions
About this Exhibition
In time long before Internet and cell phones, student protesters relied on a centuries-old communications medium to broadcast their message and arouse passions: protest posters pasted on walls throughout Paris. Created by art students who occupied the ateliers of the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts, the posters are remarkable works that combine satire, irony and verbal and visual punning to create humorous yet powerful political statements. The exhibit includes 10 original posters, along with smaller reproductions, that illustrate major themes and rhetorical techniques.About the Book
