About The 100 Best Posters Collection: This poster was originally created by Mcray Magleby in 1990 for The Shoshin Society. This is an official reissue from 1994 from the collection The 100 best posters from Europe and the United States / 1945-1990.

"In describing the rationale behind this portfolio, Hiromichi Fujita, the President of Toppan Printing Co., explains in the introduction that, "the decision to publish The 100 Best Posters from Europe and the United States 1945-1990 was motivated by our earlier collection of Japanese reproductions published four years ago . . . the first collection was intended as a small contribution to the field of graphic design, which has enjoyed an inseparable relationship with the printing industry for many years now." The selection of posters in this collection were chosen by a panel consisting of Steven Heller, Alain Weill, Milton Glaser and Yusaku Kamekura. All posters chosen (...) were reproduced and were then donated to art museums and related educational institutions in 200 locations around the world. In addition to being forms of expression, these posters, which were created in the diverse social conditions that have prevailed since the end of World War II, truly serve as a testament to the age in which they were produced."

About the poster: As an adjunct to demonstrations, marches, and vigils, graphic design has become a common tool to raise consciousness of the AIDS epidemic and contributions to research. Commissioned by The Shoshin Society, McRay Magleby's poster was one of a series produced by 100 artists for use by AIDS organizations. Magleby's elegant, poignant image criticizes conservative religious groups for their condemnation of people with AIDS. It was included in a book of posters entitled Images of Survival (Shoshin Society, 1990). (Source: The 100 best posters from Europe and the United States / 1945-1990, p.220)
