Описание: Shown in the exhibition: "People Power: Fighting For Peace" at the Imperial War Museum, London. "Protect And Survive" is a photo montage made by Peter Kennard in 1980. The title refers to a Government propaganda campaign offering "practical advice" on how people could survive a nuclear war. Peter Kennard's original has a skull on a black background. My photo has reflections from other exhibits. See a better copy of his original here. ____________________________ § About the Protect and Survive public information campaign. This link goes to a website page of the UK National Archives. § Read brief information about Peter Kennard on his website. There's more detailed information in a press release by the Imperial War Museum, issued for an exhibition of Kennard's work in 2015-16. It tells us that "During the late 1960s Kennard abandoned painting and sought new forms of expression to bring art and politics together for a wider audience. This desire to make art that spoke to all led him to the medium of photomontage for its ability to show the "unrevealed truth" behind the image. In doing so, he restored the medium’s associations with radical politics, in particular the anti-fascist work of John Heartfield in the 1930s and the Dadaists of the 1920s Kennard himself was quoted: "That sense of ripping into an image, unveiling a surface, going through that surface into an unrevealed truth, is at the core of photomontage. I sit in a room with the tools of my trade and try to pummel these pictures into revealing invisible connections."
