Welcome to the Lavish Lounge
Tasty snippets from the Creative Services World, the Lavish world, the virtual world and even the real world.
The V&A have produced a book called Posters of the Cold War, in conjunction with their forthcoming exhibition
Cold War Modern Design 1945-70.
The exhibition explores modern art, architecture, design and film in the period 1945-70, highlighting the ways in which artists and designers responded to the conditions of the Cold War.
The poster was a key medium in the Cold War, used to produce both fear and loyalty at home and abroad. Posters of the Cold War surveys poster design from the late 1940s when the ‘Iron Curtain’ was drawn across Europe to the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. Featuring over seventy designs by some of the leading artists and graphic designers of the period including Pablo Picasso, Grapus Design Collective and Peter Kennard, posters have been selected from twenty countries to demonstrate the wide international reach of the conflict.
Really looking forward to this exhibition, which runs from 25 September 2008 to 11 January 2009.
