Paris, may 1968, poster gallery

Retour à la normale...

Here is a small gallery of posters that were made in 1968 during the french student protests. Here is another, and another. Some of these posters still look vital although most have become iconic (and thus a bit "safe" because of their vernacular hipness and worth). A style had been set though and a lot of current protest art can at least learn something from the clean and "sec" language, both textually and visually.
