"Expressions of Lithographic Printing - Mode of the War" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At Printing Museum
Media: Graphics, Prints
At the beginning of the 20th century, the media that had the most impact on the masses was the poster. Many creative posters were produced to recruit soldiers and raise loans for World War One, especially in the United States. At the same time, printing technology made great bounds from planographic printing to photochemical engraving. This exhibition will introduce American society at the time it was heading for war, poster artists, and printing technology through the propaganda poster collection of the Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies.

ポスター展はデザイン展の定番スタイルのひとつと言えよう。それは「ポスター」という一枚の紙が、絵画のように２次元で表現され、何らかのメッセージ性がある、という点で視覚的に分かりやすく鑑賞しやすいからだと思われる。しかしポスターというメディアの機能、役割、特性を「デザイン」の視点でもういちどよく考えてみると、たださらりと鑑賞するだけでは見えてこない、背景にある意図的なコンテクストが存在することに気づくはずだ。
いまでもポスターは主要な広告メディアのひとつだが、まだメディアが発達していなかった時代だから、いまの比ではなかっただろう。一つのデザインで何万枚刷られたのだろう、どんなところに貼られたのだろう。来歴はサイトで読んでいたものの、５００点以上の第一次世界大戦期プロパガンダ・ポスターが東京大学にあるなんて。
