The genius of Erik Nitsche encompasses virtually the entire sphere of
visual communications. Nitsche’s prodigious and globetrotting career
spans nearly 60 years. His historic relationship with General Dynamics
began in 1953 with the design of a series of three sets of posters
dedicated to public perceptions of nuclear energy.
“Atoms for Peace” contains portions of several lithographic
public-relations-oriented fine art print programs created for the
General Dynamics Corp. in the 1950’s and 1960’s. The prints depict
Nitsche’s interpretations of nuclear energy uses, modern technologies
for the era, and feature posters created for promotion of nuclear energy
in foreign countries, which are imprinted in the languages of those
regions.
