Yesterday I found a great video explaining the history of one of my favorite WWII propaganda posters. I could go into more detail about it, but the video tells you all you need to know!
Until yesterday, I had no idea the poster was never displayed until 2000. I love learning about the story of art that has inspired me. I’ve been a fan of the poster ever since I discovered it during college. I bought this shirt parodying the design, and in my college printmaking class I even made a parody of my own (which is now available for purchase as a letterpress print here). If you go to the bookstore’s website, you can even download an app to customize your own version of the poster.
