    #28 A World War II poster from 1944 promoting workplace eye safety

    Bold typography dominates the design, pairing the towering words “SIGHT” and “SECURITY” with a dramatic, shadowed portrait of a worker wearing protective goggles. The limited palette—deep blacks, cool blues, and urgent reds—pulls the eye toward the face and the gleaming lenses, turning a practical message into striking wartime graphic art. Even the simple arrow pointing…

    #1 American troops are depicted as a bunch of savages.

    Flames and smoke dominate the background of this stark artwork, where uniformed American soldiers are rendered with exaggerated menace and cold authority. One figure in a cap marked “US” looms in the foreground, pistol lowered but unmistakably threatening, while helmeted troops advance behind him. At their feet lie civilians—bloodied bodies on the ground and a…

  • #17 “Death to US imperialists, our sworn enemy!”

    #17 “Death to US imperialists, our sworn enemy!”

    Anger is the first thing the poster wants you to feel: a towering rifle slants across the frame while a figure marked with “US” is wrapped in the stars and stripes, mouth open in a cry as if caught mid-collapse. The title, “Death to US imperialists, our sworn enemy!”, leaves no room for ambiguity, framing…

    #12 Elv Alps

    Under the wide, saturated blue of an open sky, “Elv Alps” offers a stylized Alpine panorama where snow-lined peaks sit like a distant crown beyond rolling fields. The composition leans into clean shapes and bold color blocks—greens layered into tidy groves, bright meadow bands, and crisp mountain contours that feel more like carefully arranged memory…

    #4 Ken Reid’s World-Wide Weirdies: A Grotesque and Glorious Journey Through the Bizarre Imaginations Around the World

    A riot of cosmic doodles frames the cover art for “World-Wide Weirdies,” where a cartoonish “Aussie Doomerang” arcs across a starry border filled with tiny spacecraft and oddball figures. Inside the circular scene, a grinning, long-snouted boomerang-creature looms like a living weapon, its teeth bared as it sails through a bright blue sky. The exaggerated…

    #20 Ken Reid’s World-Wide Weirdies: A Grotesque and Glorious Journey Through the Bizarre Imaginations Around the World

    Ken Reid’s “World-Wide Weirdies” plunges straight into a hot, surreal landscape where the dunes themselves glare back with clenched teeth and bulging eyes. The bold title framing the scene—“The Sa’Horror Desert”—sets the tone for a comic-horror travelogue, turning a seemingly familiar desert vista into a living, hostile expanse. A rocky outcrop, a few spindly palms,…

    #6 Moulin Rouge programme cover Gesmar 1927

    Electric red dominates this Moulin Rouge music-hall programme cover, where the famous windmill becomes a bold stage set for a languid, modern figure. The title lettering sits high like a marquee, while strings of pearl-like dots and a stark black background suggest nightlife glamour and the sparkle of Paris entertainment. A pale, circular lantern-face at…

    #7 Don’t forget your umbrella (October 1981).

    Rain runs down the windowpanes behind a solemn, familiar sacred scene, while the foreground is crowded with a tangle of closed umbrellas laid across a white surface. The contrast is playful and slightly unsettling: halos and gestures of blessing share space with everyday commuter clutter, turning a simple “lost and found” moment into something closer…

  • #23 Marcel Marceau (October 1978).

    #23 Marcel Marceau (October 1978).

    October 1978 places Marcel Marceau in a moment of poised theatricality, his iconic white face and dark-lined eyes turning a simple stance into a complete narrative. Draped in a loose, luminous costume, he lifts one arm as if catching an invisible current, while the other hand frames the space beside him with the precision of…

    #12 November: Exposure – Ren Wicks

    November’s theme of “Exposure” feels especially apt in Ren Wicks’ artwork, where a lone figure stands with her back turned, caught in a quiet moment between dressing and departure. Bare shoulders and a loosely held garment suggest intimacy without spectacle, while the pose keeps the subject anonymous, inviting viewers to read mood and era through…
