Synopsis

This small cultural history is dedicated to the hand as a popular motif in visual communication. The history of posters is rich in variations on the hand. In consumer posters, a hand presents desirable products. But the hand can also take the form of a symbolically charged gesture in the political poster. In cultural posters, the hand then becomes the emblem of the creative individual. Just as versatile as the rhetoric of the hand are its diverse uses as a design element.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The history of posters is rich in variations on the hand. In consumer posters,
a hand presents desirable products. But the hand can also take the form of a
symbolically charged gesture in the political poster. In cultural posters, the hand
then becomes the emblem of the creative individual. Just as versatile as the
rhetoric of the hand are its diverse uses as a design element. In this volume,
photographic, illustrative and abstract graphic images add up to a small cultural
history of the hand as an eloquent conveyor of messages.
