The Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO) is proud to announce the English-language edition of The Century of the Poster: Slovenian Poster Design in the 20th Century<\/em> by Dr Cvetka Po\u017ear<\/strong>, a comprehensive study that traces the evolution of the Slovenian poster throughout the 20th century. First published in Slovenian to accompany the acclaimed 2015 exhibition of the same name, this seminal work is now available to international readers for the first time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Spanning over a century of social, cultural, and technological change, The Century of the Poster<\/em> offers a detailed typological and stylistic analysis of the poster as a medium of mass communication. Dr Po\u017ear examines how the poster in Slovenia \u2014 like elsewhere in Europe \u2014 emerged as a powerful visual tool, shaping public space, influencing political discourse, and reflecting the aspirations and transformations of modern society.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Drawing from MAO\u2019s extensive visual communications collection \u2014 the only one of its kind in Slovenia \u2014 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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cPosters have always carried more than messages,\u201d writes Dr Po\u017ear. \u201cThey\u2019ve carried the spirit of their time. In the 20th century, the Slovenian poster stood at the crossroads of art, politics, and public life, revealing how design can become a voice of both creativity and change.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The publication has been met with critical acclaim. Art historian Dr Fedja Vuki\u0107<\/strong> describes it as \u201can important and comprehensive panorama of poster design in Slovenia\u2026 supported by accurate critical insight and rich scholarly grounding.\u201d<\/em> Similarly, Dr<\/strong>\u00a0Stane, Bernik <\/strong>praised the book as \u201c a vibrant portrait of the Slovenian poster landscape, perceived through a critical dialogue and analytical interpretation of the poster imagery of the past. As such, The Century of the Poster is a unique achievement and an indisputable, animated witness to the heritage of graphic design and visual communication.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With its combination of historical depth, rigorous scholarship, and compelling visual material, The Century of the Poster<\/em> provides essential reading for historians, designers, and anyone interested in visual communication and the modern public image.<\/p>\n

The English edition \u2014 published by the Museum of Architecture and Design \u2014 extends the reach of a landmark work in design history, inviting a global audience to explore how the poster, as both artistic expression and communicative tool, defined much of the 20th century\u2019s visual landscape.<\/p>\n
