"Build Together, " Important 1950 Painting for Marshall Plan Poster Competition
About the Item
This bold and vividly hued gouache by Norman Jaques, a British artist, was painted in 1950 for the "Intra-European Cooperation for a Better Standard of Living" poster contest. Three years after George C. Marshall first called for a massive investment program to rebuild post-war Europe and two years after the Marshall Program became operational, this contest was held to promote cooperation and trade among Western European nations. A total of 10,000 entries were submitted and judged by 12 graphic artists, representing each of the Marshall Plan nations. Later, some of the best posters from each country were judged by an intra-European jury gathered in Paris from the graphics and Fine Arts professions, museum directors and curators, educators and information specialists.
