The masses and revolutions in posters, politics and art, between World War I and the fall of the Berlin Wall. This volume follows the evolving face of revolutions through two hundred posters with political content from twenty countries-including Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Russia, China, Japan, and Iran-from Stanford University's collections. While the traditional approach to poster art classifies them according to artist, period, political ideology, and nationality, "Revolutionary Waves" is concerned with the emergence of a common graphic lexicon representing the masses seen as political actors globally, in different historical, political, and artistic contexts.
