Imperial War Museums Launches WW2 Poster App

News

 

Imperial War Museums (IWM) has launched a free iOS app with the help of online art catalogue Artfinder. The app features over 30 British posters from the Second World War selected from its collection of over 20,000. Each poster features additional information from IWMs curators, and can be shared on Facebook and Twitter, or purchased.

Richard Slocombe, senior art curator at IWM, says: “These posters were not only remarkable for their sophisticated communication and proficient design; they played an integral propaganda role. Through their subtle humour, memorable slogans and modernist approach, they helped to support a variety of vital wartime initiatives informing the public and building morale.”
