They served as a vehicle for state propaganda, provided information about cultural events and offered graphic designers scope for creative expression.\u003cbr\u003eThis illustrated book, published by DDR Museum Verlag, presents 170 selected posters from the DDR Museum’s collection and offers a multifaceted insight into the visual culture of the GDR. Political posters convey the ideals, promises for the future and enemy stereotypes of the SED, whilst cultural posters highlight the creative diversity and artistic freedom within commercial art.\u003cbr\u003eOrganised thematically, the publication traces the development of poster art from its beginnings after 1945 through to the end of the GDR, with a particular focus on the 1970s and 1980s. Historical context complements the illustrations, allowing the posters to be experienced both as graphic works and as sources of contemporary history.\u003cbr\u003eA richly illustrated volume for anyone interested in GDR history, graphic design and visual culture.\u003cbr\u003eEditors\u003cbr\u003eQuirin Graf Adelmann v.A. | Gordon Freiherr von Godin\u003cbr\u003eAuthors Dr Liza Soutschek | Dr Stefan Wolle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDDR Museum Verlag GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIllustrated book\/non-fiction\u003cbr\u003e21 × 29.7 cm | 244 pages | Softcover with flaps | full colour throughout\u003cbr\u003e20 euros\u003cbr\u003e978-3-939801-71-9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGerman and English\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp style=\"mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DDR Museum Verlag GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57450003398921,"sku":"6501409","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/6892\/6109\/files\/PosterBook-MockUp.png?v=1792025575","url":"https:\/\/onlineshop.ddr-museum.de\/en\/products\/book-of-posters","provider":"DDR Museum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
