About the Item
This powerful poster from around 1975 was created in the turbulent early years of the Lebanese Civil War, a period marked by intense violence, political fragmentation, and regional tensions. The central portrait is that of Marie Rose Boulos, a Lebanese humanitarian remembered as a martyr. She worked with deaf and mute children and supported Palestinian refugees living in camps in Lebanon. Because of her associations with Palestinian organisations, notably the PLO, she was assassinated in 1975, reportedly by members of the Kataeb (Phalangist) Party. Her image here becomes a symbol of compassion, solidarity, and the human cost of conflict.
The poster’s text carries a deeply emotional message linking Lebanon and Palestine — “Parce que c’est avec le Liban… parce que c’est avec la Palestine !” — emphasising shared destinies and struggles. The background, filled with images of children, underscores both innocence and vulnerability. It highlights the civilian and humanitarian dimension of the conflict, rather than purely political or military narratives. The bold graphic style, dominated by vibrant pink tones and stark photographic contrast, reflects the visual language of political and revolutionary poster art of the 1970s across the Middle East.
Beyond its commemorative purpose, this poster is a poignant historical document. It represents a moment when visual art served as both testimony and mobilising force, commemorating personal sacrifice while calling attention to broader humanitarian tragedy. Today, it stands as a reminder not only of Marie Rose Boulos herself, but of a generation caught between war, displacement, and the fight for dignity.
