The Trial of Vladimir Bukovsky is a 1975 by Martin Walker, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This poster shows a grid of 20 identical faces in blue and red. The faces are all the same person, but some parts—like the eyes, mouth, or hair—are missing or covered in red. The background is a solid blue, and the red parts stand out sharply. The text at the top reads *"Vladimir Bukovsky Must Not Die!"* in bold letters, with red circles blocking parts of the words. The poster looks like a protest or call to action, using simple colors and repetition to get attention. If you want to see more work like this, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
British designer Martin Walker turned bold typography and stark slogans into rallying cries on 1970s protest posters.
