Additional Details: This original poster by Jean-Michel Folon is part of the Artists for Amnesty series, a collection of art posters created by 15 world-renowned artists to highlight Amnesty International's Prisoners of Conscience Year 1977. The series was exhibited between February and March of 1977 in the Washington Place windows of New York University's Grey Art Gallery. Folon's image of a human-like figure flying like Icarus towards the sun can be seen as a powerful symbol of aspiration, freedom, and the human spirit's relentless pursuit of liberty. In the context of Amnesty International's Prisoners of Conscience Year, the image may represent the struggle for human rights and the fight against oppression. The figure's flight towards the sun symbolizes the hope and determination of individuals seeking freedom and justice, despite the risks and challenges they face.
