Ok, so for Art History I have to do a project/presentation on Post War Design in the 40s, 50s and 60s and I'm really stuck as to what to do. I've got some information on 60s about Pop Art but I need help with 40s and 50s and also still 60s.
It's hard to find information on it but I'm probably not looking hard enough and/or in the right places. Please help if you can.

Depending on what war you have to choose(it seems your stuck with WWII) there are different things to look for. If the war doesn't matter than look for Dada or Dadaism which should have tons of information. It was a hugely important art period after WW I.
