EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative poster from 1944, held by Mary Evans Picture Library and Onslow Auctions Limited, depicts a man in a desperate struggle against the oppressive forces of American capitalism during World War II. The man's neck is in a tight stranglehold, and the hand that holds him is adorned with a stars and stripes design, symbolizing the United States. The poster's stark black and white composition adds to its intensity, as does the ominous caption that reads "Capitalism is the Enemy!" This poster, a characteristic piece of political art from the 1940s, reflects the anti-capitalist sentiments that were prevalent during the war. At the time, many people believed that the profit-driven motives of American corporations were hindering the war effort and causing unnecessary suffering. The image of a man being strangled by the American flag was a potent symbol of this belief. The poster's design is reminiscent of the propaganda art produced during the war, which sought to mobilize public opinion and galvanize support for the war effort. However, unlike many war-time posters, which celebrated the heroism and patriotism of the Allied forces, this poster takes a critical stance towards American capitalism and its role in the war. The poster's provenance is not specified, but it is likely that it was produced by a left-wing or socialist organization, given its anti-capitalist message. Despite its controversial subject matter, the poster remains a compelling and thought-provoking piece of historical art, which sheds light on the complex political dynamics of the war years and the enduring debates about the role of capitalism in society.
