EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a German propaganda poster from 1923, created by Oskar Frenzel, opposing the occupation of the Ruhr by French and Belgian troops after World War I. The vibrant color lithograph depicts a powerful scene that exudes both political significance and artistic brilliance. The poster was featured in "Zeitgeschichte in Wort und Bild" a publication by George Soldan in 1933. It serves as a visual representation of the resistance faced by the Weimar Republic during this tumultuous period of German history. The image portrays a defiant German soldier standing tall amidst the occupied cities of Bochum and Essen in the Ruhr region. The soldier symbolizes freedom, patriotism, and nationalism while embodying the spirit of liberation sought by many Germans at that time. Through its graphic design and bold imagery, this propaganda poster aimed to rally support for resistance against foreign occupation. It highlights not only Germany's struggle for independence but also reflects tensions between European nations following World War I. This historical artifact offers valuable insights into early twentieth-century politics and serves as an important reminder of how art can be used as a tool for communication and influence during times of conflict.
