1492-1992 : Five-hundredth Anniversary of the Encounter between Two Worlds
UNESCO launched a project in 1989 to commemorate the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus in 1492. The celebration of the encounter between Europe and the New World represented a unique opportunity to reflect on the circumstances and consequences of this interchange between peoples and cultures, and their resulting transformations, borrowings and contributions to one another. The poster features the work of the German-born American painter Richard Lindner.
