McGovern 72

Readers who have been following this blog for a while, know that I have been mining my family's collection of poorly stored and archived posters from the 1970's, blog posts here and here, Flickr set here. The above McGovern posters are student made screen prints, they aren't very good but they are interesting as documents of the visual culture of 1972. They seem pretty basic compared to last year's torrent of Obama related art and design. My father was an art history professor at the time, and was probably given these by a student. He's in the poster below.
