The Anti-War Show . .
. is
a provocative historical exhibition that surveys antiwar agitprop during
the last half-century,
while tacitly
participating in today's budding movement . .
. The best of these posters
are graphically simple, linguistically blunt and conceptually resonant. The posters in this exhibition document continuous domestic and international opposition to U.S. interventions into the domestic affairs of sovereign nations since the end of World War II. Political, economic and military interventions, many of them covert, have repeatedly resulted in unacceptable deaths and misery for millions. These posters show hopes and dreams, and the pain of dreams destroyed. Their graphic intensity results from expressing the rage engendered by U.S. actions through art. The exhibition may also provide insights into the sources of the seemingly senseless rage that resulted in the atrocity of September 11, 2001. Click here for exhibition history.
