- Title
Picturing Communism: Yousuf Karsh, Canadair, and Cold War Advertising.
- Authors
Opp, James
- Abstract
The article focuses on Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh, focusing especially on his portraits created during the early Cold War Period for use in the 1955 advertising campaign launched by Canadian military contractor and aircraft manufacturer Canadair which depicted images of the face of Communism. The advertising campaign was the work of Walsh Advertising Company in Montreal, Quebec which decided to allow Karsh artistic freedom in producing photographs that met certain ideas, then matched the advertising copy to the images produced. Other topics include the social, political, and ideological reasons behind the campaign, anticommunism, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and their use of Canadair's F-86 Sabre aircraft.
