James Victore (born 1962) is an American artist, art director, graphic designer, and author. He is best known for his direct political posters that use hand-painted lettering and loose handwriting.[1][2][3][4] Victore has taught at SVA in New York[5] and has written a number of books on graphic design.

Biography

[edit]

Victore was born in 1962 and grew up on an air force base in Plattsburgh, New York in a family of a career airman and a college librarian.[1] He studied at Plattsburgh State College for one year before dropping out and moving to New York City to attend SVA.[1] Victore did not graduate from SVA[6][7] either, and considers himself self-taught.[8] His early jobs included designing restaurant menus, greeting cards, CD[1] and book covers.[9] He apprenticed for book cover designer Paul Bacon.[1]

In 1992, Victore joined graphic designers John Gall, Leah Lococo, Morris Taub, Susan Walsh, and Steven Brower to form a design group under the name "Post No Bills" to produce political posters ahead of the 1992 Presidential election.[10] In 1993, in response to race riots in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Victore created a poster titled "Racism" that became one of his most famous works[11] and was acquired by the New York Museum of Modern Art[4] and Denver Art Museum.[12]

As of 2025, Victore lives in Texas, outside of Austin.[13]

Collections

[edit]

Victore's posters are held in permanent collections of several museums.
