Symposium Visual: 4



This image was created on 1983. It was roughly the beginning of the end for the communist era. Posters such as these were created in response to NATO's creation, to help rally support for the government. Titled "NATO Zagrozeniem pokoju," the words translate to "NATO Threat to Peace." This specific poster's artist is unknown. The focus of this specific poster continues the fear of the cold war, as it focuses on America's use of nuclear weapons. It presents NATO as a weapon which could be dropped onto Poland from above. The cartoon like style of this poster correlates to the loose art restrictions during the era.
