{"product_id":"quebec-ministry-of-cultural-affairs-4","title":"Literature, Quebec Cultural Affairs","description":"\u003cp\u003eA piece of Quebec graphic design history, this promotional poster for the Ministry of Cultural Affairs celebrates literature through sophisticated visual metaphor. The central emblem presents stacked books forming a human silhouette, bisected by a quill pen that serves as both spine and creative instrument, all rendered in sage green and cream against an ochre halo with radiating lines suggesting enlightenment or vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreated during the post-Quiet Revolution era, when Quebec's government was actively asserting French-Canadian cultural identity, this poster represents the province's commitment to promoting its literary heritage. The Ministry of Cultural Affairs, established in 1961 as North America's first cultural ministry, commissioned sophisticated design work that reflected Quebec's desire to be seen as modern and culturally distinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe earth-tone palette and modernist typography place this firmly in the early 1970s Canadian design tradition. A compelling artifact for collectors of Canadian graphic design, Quebec cultural history, or literary ephemera, this poster transforms institutional promotion into memorable visual art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36.0\" x 24.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
