It seems familiar because it was everyone's dream of America; and it was unique because only Rockwell managed to bring it to life with such authority. This was, perhaps, an America that never existed, but it was an America the public wanted to exist. And Rockwell put it together from elements that were there for everyone to see.

Norman Rockwell helped preserve American myths, but, more than that, he recreated them and made them palatable for new generations. His function was to reassure people, to remind them of old values in times of rapid change.

Posters from the late 19th century to Robert Indiana's poster designs for Barack Obama tell the story of protest. Contemporary events seen through the eyes of 20th-century artists show a passion for freedom and human rights and demand equality and tolerance.

L'imagination au pouvoir was a slogan devised by artist Pierre Aléchinsky during the May 1968 student riots in Paris. The particular appeal of political posters for avant-garde artists comes from their dual inspiration of utopian ideals and Jive history. The postwar period, when Picasso's unassuming dove image was commandeered by the Communist peace movement, was succeeded by the general willful resistance of the younger generation in the 1960s. In 1968, many supported the students' demands and produced political posters. In the 1970s, the focus turned to freedom for minorities, and this was followed not much later by environmental pollution a great concern of artists such as Joseph Beuys. In the mid-80s, the AIDS scare turned eyes on to discrimination and social marginalisation; and the concept of equality resurfaced, especially in the work of American artists such as Keith Haring and Jenny Holtzer. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, followed by globalization, was reflected in posters by Robert Rauschenberg and others.

This story of international protest movements, narrated through vivid designs by the great artists of our day, is also a story of the art of the period a selective view, perhaps, but nonetheless an expression of astonishing continuity and authenticity.

In addition the publication includes among others works by Andy Warhol, Jasper Jons, Antoni Tàpies, Joan Miró and Roy Lichtenstein.

Designing a captivating creature simply for it to exist against a white background and going no further is a purely academic exercise.

This is the first book to be published on one of the greatest American designers of the 20th century, who was as famous for his work in film as for his corporate identity and graphic work. Saul Bass (1920-1996) created some of the most compelling images of American postwar visual culture. Having extended the remit of graphic design to include film titles, he went on to transform the genre. His best-known works include a series of unforgettable posters and title sequences for films such as Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo and Otto Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm and Anatomy of a Murder. He also created some of the most famous logos and corporate identity campaigns of the century, including those for major companies such as AT&T, Quaker Oats, United Airlines and Minolta.

His wife and collaborator, Elaine, joined the Bass office in the late 1950s. Together they created an impressive series of award-winning short films, including the Oscar-winning Why Man Creates, as well as an equally impressive series of film titles, ranging from Stanley Kubrick’s Spartacus in the early 1960s to Martin Scorsese’s Cape Fear and Casino in the 1990s.

Designed by Saul Bass's daughter Jennifer and written by distinguished design historian Pat Kirkham, who knew Saul Bass, this book contains more than 1,400 illustrations, many from the Bass archive and never published before, providing an in-depth account of one of the leading graphic artists of the 20th century.

This definitive study is eagerly anticipated by design and film enthusiasts.
