The Coke Bottle, from Design Icons series. Perhaps one of the most successful corporate symbols of all time, and inexorably linked to the image of the USA throughout the world. Coke's promise to provide all GI's anywhere in the world with a bottle of Coke for a nickel during WWII resulted in the spread of Coke bottling plants throughout Europe and Asia.

Max Ernst and the Surrealists. Surrealists rarely showed overt politicism within their paintings, but they were a deeply political - in fact recvolutionary - movement. Consider how they expressed this within their art (if indeed you believe they did). Why were they so determined to acess the subconscious? What were some of the contextual factors influencing the development of Surrealism?
