Talk:Poster art

If people were to take this entry on poster art completely seriously then they would be mis-guided. Although it's true that television, full-color magazines, and, to some extent, the internet have all done their part to reduce the stature and prominence of posters, they did not simply vanish from the cultural mainstream. The most outstanding examples can be seen in the flourishing of concert posters over the past 45 years. Beyond merely advertising for a performance, concert posters, and specifically rock concert posters, have attained a cultural status as a real art form (even if some may prefer to think of it as "lowbrow" art). Each decade produces standout, iconic concert posters which reflect their times and cultural tastes. Entire websites, books, and catalogs are devoted to selling concert posters. I will see if I can do more research so that I may append this information to the "Poster art" entry and possibly create an entirely new entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spoonturtle37 (talk • contribs)

Woefully incomplete!
This article makes no mention of: - film posters; accomplished, popular, and collectable today - political posters; many, especially in the developing world, are of note for their graphic design - posters outside France; Poland has a particularly rich heritage

This article should really be a stub and the whole category needs a lot of work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.169.138.156 (talk • contribs)

merge
I suggest merging this to the main article on posters, which duplicates some of this information & could use the rest. -- phoebe 23:50, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
