"March 1975, Bazaar, Fight Air Pollution, What You Should Be Wearing" Poster, 1970
Add to SetSummary
George Stowe, Jr., a graphic artist noted for silkscreened and offset lithograph posters stylizing Black Power aesthetics, spoofed high fashion and mocked self-absorption in this 1970 poster. His fictional Bazaar magazine cover, dated five years in the future, featured a fashion model surviving with a gas mask. The moral of the story: self-protection would not solve the problem of environmental pollution.
