Propaganda Prints by Colin Moore
Propaganda Prints reviews the history, cultural diversity and artistic legacy of art produced in the service of social and political change from ancient times to the present day. The author presents the arts of state control, of opposition, of revolution, of advertising, politics and self-promotion in their historical contexts, with three hundred images to evoke some of the dreams and concerns which have driven humanity through the last five thousand years. The Ancient Mesopotamians are there with the Romans, the Crusaders, the Normans, the Victorians, the Suffragettes, the Nazis and the Hippies. The American, French, Russian, Mexican, Chinese and Cuban revolutions all contribute as do many, far too many, wars. From Gutenberg's printing press to You Tube, from Alexander to Obama, this review of propaganda art reflects the best and the worst of us, and offers the pictures by way of consolation.
Born on the west coast of Scotland and trained in Glasgow, Colin Moore has worked as an architect, designer and brand consultant, sustaining a lifelong interest in visual communication through contact with the art and culture of the many places where his work has taken him. He has lived in Venezuela and Spain and now lives and works in London. He is a founder of Tile Kiln Studios, an artists' collective based in London, and his paintings and prints are regularly exhibited in the UK and abroad.
