In much the way that the CD replaced the album, the poster has waned as a messaging vehicle. The poster has now become a postcard and e-mail blast, leaving many to long for the lost age when posters were not only major promotional vehicles, but also artwork worthy of framing. Some of the world's best designers just could not stand idle while the poster fell by the wayside. Th...(展开全部)

黑人作家。1908年9月4日生于密西西比州纳切兹附近的一个种植园里。祖父是奴隶，父亲是种植园工人，后弃家出走。母亲是乡村教师。赖特进过孤儿院，曾在几个亲戚家寄养，15岁起独立谋生。他从小深受歧视，对社会、尤其对周围的白人世界怀着又恨又怕的心理。这种心理状态不仅在他的著名的自传《黑孩子》(1945)中作了生动的描述，而且在他的小说中也有所反映。赖特离家后曾在孟菲斯、芝加哥等地从事各种体力劳动，同时勤奋自学，立志成为作家。他爱读德莱塞、刘易斯、安德森等现实主义作家的作品，深受他们的影响。30年代美国经济萧条时期，赖特长期失业，对美国贫富悬殊、种族歧视的社会有了进一步认识。1932年加入美国共产党，学习运用马克思主义的观点去观察社会，这使他后来的创作能够比较深刻地发掘生活，揭露社会的矛盾和黑暗面，向社会提出控诉和抗议，因而成为30至40年代美国左翼文学中所...(展开全部)
