Does anyone else think old propaganda posters like these are cool?

[LostInAnomie]

I think they are cool, but my girlfriend told me that I'm a dork.









edit: Just in case anyone is wondering where I found these: http://www.allposters.com/gallery.asp?aid=1581405051&startat=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eallposters%2Ecom%2Fgetthumb%2Easp%3Fc%3Dc%26search%3D18502%26page%3D1
There are a ton more there.

1. I find them absolutely fascinating. If I wasn't already collecting art,

I think I'd be heavily into collecting old Stalinist, and WWII and Nazi propaganda posters.

They're truly fascinating - a real look into the human psyche.

2. aw fuck yeah! Those are awesome!

Dork or not, I love them! :D

[GOPisEvil]

3. I love them!

I'm considering deocrating my office with WWII-era propaganda. I have SOME, but I really like the Soviet posters.

[wildhorses]

4. yeah, i think they are a unique perspective

:wow: cool

[Connonym]

5. I love this one and have it hanging in my office

I love this shit. I've also got Rosie the Riveter. I would love to get a collection of them for my walls. I'm going to go "window shop" at that website. They appeal to my inner communist I guess :-D

11. My Grandmother was a rosie the riveter

Actually, she worked a press while building airplanes.

6. I love those things

There are, unfortunately, not many places to buy them besides the internet. Besides that, they're kind of expensive because I guess they're a niche product.

7. There's a shop at the Pike Place Market that has tons of old posters

for sale. I love that shop!

[rockymountaindem]

12. Too bad I'm not living there right now

I just went to Boston for school. I'll look for it when I go back. Thanks!

[SeattleGirl]

16. No prob. It's on one of the lower levels.

Great little shop.

[LostInAnomie]

14. They are damn expensive!

I was looking through that site I posted and I saw one that I liked. For the poster alone (not framed) it was $125. It's not like these are wall sized posters either. I guess I'll have to select carefully if I ever decide to make a purchase.

8. definitely. the artwork is outasight!

[volstork]

9. I love the bold graphic style

Almost all of the art I have in my house is poster art-- much of it vintage posters from the London Underground.

Man, I want a Garand...

[Lethe]

15. yes they are fucking awesome but u left out my fav one

[LostinVA]

17. Then, I suppose I'm a dork, too

I love stuff like this. I also have a collection of Nazi helmets and bayonets, from my grandfather. He got them off German soldiers during the Battle of the Bulge. I'm glad my future wife also recognizes them as real pieces of history.

18. i had to go dig this out of the photo forum, they didn't seem to get it...

:shrug:


you'll need to dig for the rest
