Summary:
Mouvement artistique majeur depuis bientôt cinquante ans, le street art enflamme aujourd'hui la planète. Face à une crise économique et morale généralisée, les murs tiennent de nouveau le haut du pavé, portent la parole et les cris de street artists indignés. Ils investissent en force le social et le politique et dénoncent une réalité asphyxiante. Ces murs-là nous interpellent, nous provoquent, nous appellent à la vigilance, et affirment aussi que, dans un monde saturé d'images toutes faites, le street art peut avoir un double rôle à jouer : sentinelle de notre société et éveilleur de consciences.

Summary:
Postcard America offers a comprehensive study of linen postcards and their cultural significance. Drawing on the production files of Curt Teich & Co. of Chicago, the originator of linen postcards, Jeffrey L. Meikle reveals how photographic views were transformed into colorized postcard images, often by means of manipulation—adding and deleting details or collaging bits and pieces from several photos. He presents two extensive portfolios of postcards—landscapes and cityscapes—that comprise a representative iconography of linen postcard views. For each image, Meikle explains the postcard’s subject, describes aspects of its production, and places it in social and cultural contexts. In the concluding chapter, he shifts from historical interpretation to a contemporary viewpoint, considering nostalgia as a motive for collectors and others who are fascinated today by these striking images.
