Looking for information on WWII propaganda posters

by pinky_andthe_brain

I'm an art history grad student working on my masters in the field of graphic design. For one of my current courses (19th and 20th century modernism), we have to write an indepth research paper; and I want to delve into my chosen field a bit more. My problem lies in not having an abundance of sources since graphic design isn't huge in the art history field. I want to write on WWII propaganda posters (American or European), but I'm having trouble finding posters that are done in a modernist style. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Explain what "modernist" means and I may be able to help. I have a few at home but have no clue if they could help you out.

hi OP! hopefully some of the art historians can help out on this one, but FYI, there have been various questions in the sub on WWII propaganda posters, some broad, some poster-specific. I've taken a quick look; these may(?) be of some interest to you, either for the posters themselves, the responses, or links/references to books or other source material

in no particular order..

general:

specific poster(s):

p.s. there's also a specialist subreddit /r/propagandaposters
