Open Skies for Peace exhibition poster (Chinese, Taipei)
A brown and yellow Chinese-language poster for an exhibition titled 'Open Skies for Peace'. White lines fan out from a circle like a sight-line or eye, with blocks of colour and rows of dots. It names the United States Information Service as organiser and the Taiwan Provincial Museum in the New Park as venue, from 1 to 20 December. The tell is glittering generalities: the word 'peace' in the title carries the case, and the poster gives no argument.
