Communist era posters
I like these - I always have. When I was in Prague recently, the national contemporary art museum's Socialist Realism section gave me enormous pleasure. And you never know, popping over here might do the same for you.
The picture that goes with this post is chosen not for its draughtmanship but for the fact that it looks like a bloke who was a major influence on me; a man who would have been constantly mistaken for both Shakespeare and Lenin - were they not both dead, that is.
Dr. Ian Mitchell of Grantham College, I salute you.
