| description | This work seeks to explore how certain symbols, built over time within a certain cultural context (in this case, said context being the one of western European culture), are re-contextualized within a given situation (World War I) to better serve the means of propaganda. How can a visual representation of a certain symbol, thousands of years old and deeply rooted in cultural heritage, be repurposed and reshaped within months? Also, the article aims to explore the connection between the visual cannon of Orthodox icons and World War I propaganda posters. |
