༺༺༻ Tekstfragment

“[A] telling survey of the poster story, whose lucid and thoughtful text suitably presents and comments upon the 273 plates, no fewer than 72 of them in full colour, and high-fidelity colour at that. ... A brief review can scarcely do justice to the richness and variety of poster design development as displayed in page after page of Mr. Barnicoat’s survey.” —Books & Bookmen

“The emergence of the poster from its origins of mural, folk art, and book illustration during the second half of the 19th century is described in scholarly detail. ... With an impressive range of illustrations, mostly from Europe and America, he shows how the rapid technique of lithography was able to harness the visual arts to the service of a consumer society. Mr. Barnicoat convincingly shows how a visual shorthand developed to express ideas simply and directly, initiated by such artists as Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec, and the Bickerstaff Brothers who finally took the poster off the easel, bringing together the immediacy of journalism and the decorative influence of Art Nouveau. ... The subject is treated historically, but the author ranges widely over a century of posters making relevant and often surprising comparisons, such as his juxtaposition of Art Nouveau and ‘hippy’ posters. The text is supported by a comprehensive bibliography and a reliable index. The book will be a source of reference and refreshment to all graphic artists and to advertisers, businessmen, and even revolutionaries who make use of posters to promote their interests.” —British Book News

John Barnicoat was born in Weybridge, England, in 1924. After reading Modern History at Lincoln College, Oxford, he studied at the Royal College of Art, where he is now Senior Tutor in the Painting School.
