  6. John Heartfield(Herzfeld) used his abilities to fight Hitler and the Nazis! RIGHT: May 31, 1934 ; This piece shows humanity, broken on the wheel. It mirrors the traditional piece with a reference to the swastika, the Third Reich breaking human life. LEFT: March 8, 1934 - This piece is an interpretation of the Nazi military slogan. Blood dripping from the swastika infers that the military (weapons and soldiers) was all Germany needed for victory.

  7. Polish Posters • The late 1940s witnessed a shift in the life of the Polish poster. • It was at this time that a small group of artists, including HenrykTomaszewski, JózefMroszczak and ErykLipiński, set out on a new path of artistic invention. • When asked in 1946 by the Polish Film Department to design posters, they agreed- but with the stipulation that the work be based on their own artistic terms, not the typical advertising clichés of the past.

  11. Rupert Garcia’s images reference art, Mexican American history, advertising and consumer iconography, the Vietnam War, and the Mexican Revolution. As with his current art works in different media, Garcia’s early posters and prints used emotionally charged symbols to reiterate the point that cyclical upheavals have defined changes in human power structures, commerce, and civic progress throughout history.

  19. ChazMavianne-Davies "Over the years I have tried to use images and ideas to cut through complacency and apathy while trying to raise consciousness about an array of social issues from discrimination and human rights, to health and the environment. Creating an alternate vision as my expression in a pervading regressivebody politic has never been easy, but design is my weapon and therein lies the challenge I call "Creative Defiance." This site is a glimpse of my approach and the breadth of real problems and values we all have to deal with.” Link to more about Chaz: http://retiary.org/idea/idea5/idea_5/chaz/chaz.htm
