Women's Graphics Collective.

Dia Internacional De La Mujer: International Women's Day Poster. Chicago: Women's Graphics Collective, [c. 1975].Screenprint on paper, reprinted from a Cuban poster by the Collective, bold design in red and black with three stylized half-faces in skin tones; not mounted; 28 1/4 x 20 1/2 in."Graphics Collective posters appeared in peoples' homes, women's liberation offices, coffee shops, women's centers, women's health clinics, labor unions, and even on the set of a popular TV sitcom. All work was done in teams of 2-4 women led by an artist-designer. The Collective wanted a new feminist art that transcended the highly individualistic 'Great Men of Art' syndrome. Members would propose a poster idea and then recruit a team to actually produce it. This method incorporated the vision of the individual artist into the collective art process. Thousands of posters were distributed worldwide during the Collective's 13-year history from 1970-1983. Today some of their best efforts are considered classics of feminist poster art."
