Victory 1945, 1975, by Shigeo Fukuda

This minimalist and impactful poster by Shigeo Fukuda features a stark black silhouette of a bullet and gun barrel on a bright yellow background. The bullet, frozen mid-air as though retreating into the barrel, creates a powerful and paradoxical visual metaphor for peace following the violence of war. The simplicity of form and bold contrast imbue the image with timeless poignancy and conceptual clarity.

Created in 1975 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the end of World War II, "Victory 1945" exemplifies Fukuda's masterful ability to convey profound ideas through minimal design. A key figure in Japanese graphic design, Fukuda often employed illusion and paradox in his work to challenge perceptions and provoke thought. This poster stands as one of his most celebrated pieces, resonating globally as a symbol of reconciliation and the enduring hope for peace.

We've carefully remastered this print to make it available for you to enjoy.
