Propaganda during Soviet times came in poster form. Some messages stirred patriotism in the fight against Adolf Hitler’s invading forces, while others slammed illiteracy and laziness. They also bashed the greed associated with capitalism. A painter even introduced one of the Cold War’s most enduring, powerful, and popular metaphors: the Iron Curtain. Winston Churchill – a passionate and prolific amateur painter in addition to his role as British prime minister and international statesman – invoked the term in 1946, in a speech given in Missouri, with American president Harry Truman in attendance: “…an iron curtain has descended across the continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe […] All are subject, in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and, in many cases, increasing measure of control from Moscow.” Use examples of Cold War era art and compare it to present-day propaganda art and posters. How has the art from the Cold War continued to shape politics in times of conflict?
