An insight into East German graphic design.
Exhibition : Posters from the DDR at Studio, a new occasional gallery at Melbourne House, Lower Street, Stroud GL5 2HT : Saturday and Sunday 11 am - 4 pm.
Designers in the new-formed German Democratic Republic were charged with developing an aesthetic that embodied the political values of the state whilst breaking decisively with the past.
This exhibition of letterpress and lithograph posters shows what was achieved in less than ideal economic and social conditions. This is the first of a series of occasional events at Studio, run by Nick Pride.
