Lecture 6 Response

The works of AM Cassandre have always fascinated me and I did not know until now that he was considered by many to be the best illustrator of this period. His work is truly magnificent. Also while I am sorry to say it, the posters created during during WWII were amazing and precisely why I took this course. I wish that we had a time to go into greater detail about each and every poster and every technique that was utilized created and discovered during this period. I am sorry to see it happen at this point, but the transition in America from illustration to photography begins. As you may be able to tell from previous writings I am a fan of anything that was derived or evolved from the pencil.
