Vox Populi: Posters of the Interwar Years

Vox Populi: Posters of the Interwar Years:

"The 1920s and 1930s were among the greatest years in the history of poster design. Vox Populi, or the “voice of the people,” posters were used by manufacturers, political movements, and the entertainment industry as immensely refined art created for a vast public.

The exhibition, on view in the Sackler Center for Arts Education, presents a group of splendid interwar posters from France, Italy, and Germany."
