Spanning over a century of social, cultural, and technological change, The Century of the Poster offers a detailed typological and stylistic analysis of the poster as a medium of mass communication. The book examines how the poster in Slovenia — like elsewhere in Europe — emerged as a powerful visual tool, shaping public space, influencing political discourse, and reflecting the aspirations and transformations of modern society. Drawing from MAO’s extensive visual communications collection, alongside materials from national libraries, archives, and private holdings, the book presents a rich visual narrative of over 300 posters. From early 20th-century lithographs to (late) modernist and post-socialist design, the selection illustrates how Slovenian designers contributed to global developments in visual communication while articulating distinct local identities.
