Magazines & War 1936-1939: Spanish Civil War Print Culture. Brilliant! Also... Other Weapons: Photography and Print Culture During the Spanish Civil War at the ICP in New York. "...The posters of the Spanish Civil War have become the emblematic visual sign of a national conflict that became international from 1936-1939. Described as "shouts from the wall," the vibrancy of the color and design of the posters, and the messages they sent, signaled for many the powerful role that propaganda played in creating an image of war that was used in Spain and exported actively. Along with the wall-papering of the posters, was the publication in Spain of hundreds of magazines. Considering their impact at the time, it is surprising that they have been virtually unexamined by art historians."
