Description

The Libres Four Freedoms poster

Libres is Herbert Bayer’s 1942 typographic poster of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms, issued in Spanish by the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs for audiences in Latin America. Instead of a battle scene, Bayer set the words themselves in motion: Libertad de Cultos (freedom of worship), Libertad de Palabra (freedom of speech), Libres de Miseria (freedom from want) and Libres de Temor (freedom from fear) cross the sheet on steep diagonals around a towering blue LIBRES.

Bayer trained and taught at the Bauhaus before moving to the United States in 1938, and this sheet is a striking piece of Bauhaus-trained typography in American wartime service. It suits a study, reading room or any design-led interior.

Read the full history of the poster and the Four Freedoms.

Restored edition

Restored from an original 1942 sheet. Fold lines, yellowing and paper wear were removed and the reds, greens and blues brought back, keeping Bayer’s dry-brush texture and hand-drawn lettering true. Drag the before and after slider below to compare.
