GAMES, NAOMI

Abram Games. His Wartime Work

Stroud, Gloucestershire: Amberley Publishing, 2019. First Edition. Original decorated wrappers. ISBN: 1445692457. With b/w & coloured frontispiece, plates & illustrations. Light shelfwear. Loosely inserted folder for the exhibition from the National Army Museum. ; Abram Games (1914–1996) was a renowned British graphic designer, best known for his impactful and innovative poster designs during and after World War II. His work played a crucial role in conveying messages, boosting morale, and encouraging various wartime efforts. Games' designs were characterized by their simplicity, bold imagery, and clever use of symbolism. During World War II, Games served as an official war artist for the British government, primarily working for the War Office. His posters were designed to communicate important messages to the public, soldiers, and civilians alike. Some of his notable wartime works include: "Your Talk May Kill Your Comrades" (1942) : This poster aimed to discourage careless talk that could potentially reveal sensitive information to the enemy. The design featured a skeleton holding a "Careless Talk Costs Lives" sign, serving as a powerful reminder of the consequences of loose lips. "Grow Your Own Food" (1942) : In this poster, Games encouraged civilians to contribute to the war effort by cultivating their own vegetables. The design depicted a hand emerging from the ground, cradling a plant growing from a helmet, symbolizing the idea of self-sufficiency. "They Win Who Work Longest" (1942) : This poster emphasized the importance of productivity and hard work on the home front. The design featured a worker's hand holding a tool, set against a bold red background, conveying the message of sustained effort. "Careless Talk Costs Lives" (1940s) : Another poster with the "Careless Talk Costs Lives" theme, this design showed a soldier with a large pair of ears, emphasizing the importance of keeping sensitive information confidential. "Your Britain - Fight for It Now" (1943) : This poster aimed to boost civilian morale by portraying a powerful image of a clenched fist, symbolizing strength and unity in the face of adversity. Games' contributions extended beyond wartime, as he continued to create impactful designs for various clients, including the British railways, the Festival of Britain in 1951, and even commercial advertisements. His unique style and ability to distill complex messages into simple yet compelling visuals left a lasting legacy in the field of graphic design. ; Octavo; 192 pages. As New with no dustjacket .
