The photo in the Pacifist Socialist Party (PSP) poster presents a pure and disarming image. A naked woman, her arms spread out, looking euphorically into the sky. The cow in the meadow adds a kind of earthy, unadulterated Dutchness. The poster was designed for the Dutch parliamentary elections of 1971. The photo drew a mixed response. Some thought it liberating, others considered it sexist and even offensive.
