V World Youth Festival poster, Warsaw 1955 (Spanish, collected by USIS Caracas)
A Spanish-language poster for the V World Festival of Youth and Students in Warsaw, 31 July to 14 August 1955. Three stylised faces in white, yellow and dark olive tones look right under a blue curtain, and a grey dove passes in front of them. The tell is transfer and glittering generalities: the dove, a peace symbol, and the shared gaze of different faces attach unity and peace to attending the festival.
