First sentence: There antiwar posters by Micah Ian Wright are reminiscent in spirit of works by artists such as Käthe Kollwitz and George Grosz, during the 1920s, when it was becoming ever more evident that the infant German democracy was about to be murdered by psychopathic personalities, hereinafter "PPs," a medical term for smart, personable people who have no conscience.
Description: Stunning, hilarious & politically incendiary, this full-color poster book reworks classic American WWI & II propaganda into commentaries on war, peace & patriotism for the post-9/11 era. The 40 one-sided posters make fun of war mentality, the Bush White House, Homeland Security, the War on Terror, Ashcroft, the 2000 Presidential election, the military-industrial complex & much more. Posters of yesteryear such as Uncle Sam's "I Want You," & "Loose Lips Sink Ships" are reworked with new messages of peace & protest.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 104-106).
