Meet Angelina Lippert, Curator at @posterhousenyc! She has spent over a decade studying the history of posters and is an avid collector herself. Says Angelina, More so than any other form of art, the invention of the color print, and subsequently the poster, revolutionized the way the public could interact with a decorative visual medium. #MuseumInstaSwap #posterhousenyc
Starke Hand Rettet das Land, Fritz Rosen, ca. 1933 The title of this work by German artist Fritz Rosen translates to A Strong Hand Saves the Land. It was meant as a symbol against Nazism and Communism. Poster House (@posterhousenyc) will be dedicated to presenting the impact, culture, and design of posters, both as historical documents and methods of contemporary visual communication. #MuseumInstaSwap #posterhousenyc
