Artist: Roman Cieslewicz
Country: France
The late 1960s were angry years in France when student radicals took to the streets in an attempt to drive the country to revolution. On the left, consumerism was identified as the chief enemy. Cieślewicz was not untouched by these arguments. He worked for left-wing publishers like 10/18 under Christian Bourgeois producing iconic cover-images of gauchiste heroes like Lenin and Ho Chi Minh, the leader of the Viet Cong in Vietnam. Cieślewicz designed the layout and ten powerful covers for the art magazine Opus, first published by Georges Fall in Paris in 1967, on the eve of the turmoil.
