“18 June 1968 De Gaulle = Petain”
(around 18 June 1968 – Atelier Arts Décoratifs
Black screen-print on newspaper
13 x 85cm
This equation of de Gaulle to the reviled capitulator Petain (head of the Vichy government after the German victory in France in WW2) is particularly pointed. The date referred to is the anniversary of de Gaulle’s famous 1940 call for French Resistance to the occupying forces.

“warning- The radio lies”
(May 27 or June 5) – Ecole des Arts Décoratifs
Context
In 1968 the only French-based radio or TV news in France was the state-run broadcaster, the ORTF (Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française) which had a total monopoly on national broadcasting. The only competition was from radio stations like Radio Luxembourg which broadcast into France from neighbouring countries.
From the beginning of May the government put strict controls on the ORTF’s coverage of the events on the streets. Then on May 25 the ORTF workers joined the general strike. From that day onwards the ORTF was run directly by the government – and its news broadcasts lost any remnant of objectivity.
Hence this poster!
