ABRAM GAMES (1914-1996) CIVIL RESETTLEMENT UNITS. 1945. 29x19 inches, 73 3/4x48 1/4 cm. Fosh & Cross Ltd., London. Condition B+ / A-: creases and minor abrasions in margins and image. Paper. For an agency aimed to help returning prisoners of war readjust to society, Games uses a multi-level image of transition to encourage veterans to take part in the program. There is a shift from darkness to light, a change from tire tracks to paving stones and the open door itself. The poster also represents a transition for the artist, who while still displaying some of his trademark surreal elements, was also moving into a brighter, more optimistic style. IWM PST 2977.
