MOMA, NYC, October 23, 2009Polish Posters 1945–89
May 6, 2009–November 30, 2009
Upon walking up to this exhibit I was immediately drawn to the brutal imagery that filled these posters. Each poster has an individual identity and message, a message that screams at you. The poster with an illustration of a brick wall wrapped around a man's head reminded me of Pink Floyd's "The Wall." It clearly represents government oppression or containment of some kind. Overall I enjoyed the use of collage work and clever photo and illustration manipulations. Their use is most likely telling political ideals and opinions.
