About the Item
The 1951 original poster for Paix et Liberté titled Jamais ! Ça. is a powerful piece of anti-communist propaganda, notable for its stark imagery and bold message. Designed during the height of the Cold War, the poster reflects the Paix et Liberté movement’s mission to combat the influence of communism in post-war France and across Europe.
The visual centerpiece of the poster is the iconic Eiffel Tower draped in the ominous red flag of communism, emblazoned with the hammer and sickle. This striking image symbolizes the fear of France—represented by one of its most cherished national symbols—falling under Soviet control. The slogan Jamais ! Ça. (Never! This.) reinforces the urgent plea to resist the perceived threat of communist ideology and the loss of freedom it represented.
This clever juxtaposition of a proud French landmark with the flag of oppression plays on nationalistic pride and democratic values, urging viewers to reject communism as incompatible with French identity and liberty. The poster uses simplicity and symbolism to great effect, creating an emotional appeal that resonates deeply with its audience.
Paix et Liberté, a French organization founded in 1950, relied on such striking visuals to mobilize public sentiment. This poster exemplifies the movement’s strategy of using evocative, highly visual propaganda to counter the influence of the French Communist Party and the Soviet Union.
The Jamais ! Ça. poster stands as a testament to the power of visual art in political campaigns, embodying the fears, anxieties, and determination of a nation defending its democratic ideals during the Cold War.
