EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Workers & Farmers" poster created by Ben Shahn in 1944. The poster was commissioned by the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) during World War II to promote unity between laborers and farmers through political action. In this powerful image, a hardworking farmer stands proudly in a field, holding a sheaf of grain in one hand while gripping the poster with the other. His weathered face reflects determination and resilience as he represents the backbone of America's agricultural industry. The text on the poster reads "From Workers to Farmers. . . Thanks!" which serves as an expression of gratitude from industrial workers to their farming counterparts for their vital contribution during wartime. This sentiment underscores the importance of solidarity among different sectors of society, emphasizing that united efforts are crucial for national success. Ben Shahn's artistic style shines through in this piece, capturing both patriotism and propaganda prevalent during that era. The photograph beautifully captures his attention to detail, showcasing every line etched on the farmer's face and every strand of wheat held within his grasp. This historical artifact transports us back to a pivotal moment in American history when citizens rallied together amidst global conflict. It reminds us not only of our collective strength but also highlights how art can be used as a tool for social change.
