Mandela by Quarez is a testimony to the power of simplicity and color.
Great piece of art, Vick!

Yes, Ari,info on the first poster please for me, is he remote controlling a drone or something similar?

Ari · « **Reply #29 on:** September 01, 2015, 04:59:48 AM »

no idea what he is controlling, but I think he is good at it.

the other is a Peking Opera Movie poster I believe. or rather a scene from a peking opera film. Used to promote pride or something.

Great posters, there, Ari.

Do you know what year each is from?

Ari · « **Reply #32 on:** September 01, 2015, 09:36:06 PM »

artwork is 1978, the other is 73 (I think - need to dig it out again)

This sold on ebay for $228 yesterday (1 bid only). My dad had to shave his stache in the 80s because people kept saying he looked exactly like SH.

This is one of mine - US WWII poster by Australian born Melbourne Brindle from 1942. Does not mince words!

brude · « **Reply #36 on:** September 15, 2015, 11:45:16 PM »

I dig it when they put a happy face on war.

In the years before the Iraq war, British expats living there used to refer to Saddam by the nickname 'Keith'. Sadly I don't have it now, but there was an article all about this which showed a gigantic popular poster of the time; this featured a huge close -up of the man himself, beaming joyously upon his countrymen. This was pasted up all over the city and was popularly referred to as 'Keith and his new teeth'.

I love anecdotes like these. Great stuff, Nick!

Cool poster, but the sailor's proportions look whacked.
Maybe its just me, but shouldn't he have longer legs... or shorter arms... or both?

Yeah, his arms look as long as his legs, and one leg is shorter than the oath. The broad next to him is particularly ugly

I love this poster so much I want to

it all over the forum (Latest Acquisitions, Top poster purchases of 2015...) I might as well post it here too.

Melting Hitler face getting stabbed by bayonet = awesome

Great looking poster. Somehow it has a Germanish look, do you know the bidder?

No idea who the bidder is, but if he's willing to pay for shipping a massive framed piece like that I imagine he's not too far... probably Ohio. And as for his arms being longer than his arms... damn you my arms are also longer than my legs

It is one badass Mexican poster. They can be quite dramatic those latinos!

That is one wild poster, Deke.

For fellow poster collectors: a few pages of posters on display during the war (mainly american). I've posted a couple of my favorite images (the last one being the subject of an auction I had previously shared in this very thread), but make sure you check out the link so you can see them all including the captions. Amazing how some of these turn up all over the world.

Love seeing posters in their original settings like this.

Does anyone have a Kroger "Dear God, Kepp them Safe!" poster? Would love to see one.

Wladyslaw T. Benda wasn't particularly known for his 'propaganda' posters, but of all his works, this is one of my favorites
