Propaganda Prints reviews the history, cultural diversity and artisticlegacy of art produced in the service of social and political changefrom ancient times to the present day. The author presents the arts ofstate control, of opposition, of revolution, of advertising, politicsand self-promotion in their historical contexts, with three hundredimages to evoke some of the dreams and concerns which have drivenhumanity through the last five thousand years. The Ancient Mesopotamians are there with the Romans, the Crusaders, theNormans, the Victorians, the Suffragettes, the Nazis and the Hippies.The American, French, Russian, Mexican, Chinese and Cuban revolutionsall contribute as do many, far too many, wars. From Gutenberg'sprinting press to You Tube, from Alexander to Obama, this review ofpropaganda art reflects the best and the worst of us, and offers thepictures by way of consolation.
