EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a powerful and thought-provoking artwork by Ben Shahn, created in the late 1930s. The original oil on canvas was designed as a poster with a clear message: "Organize? With 1,250,000 Workers Backing Us, Of Course We Will Organize". Shahn's masterpiece captures the essence of the labor movement during a crucial period in American history. As the nation grappled with the devastating effects of the Great Depression, workers faced immense challenges and hardships. However, this painting serves as an emblem of hope and unity. The image features several men representing different industries within America's working class. Their determined expressions convey resilience and determination to fight for their rights. The bold slogan displayed prominently emphasizes that strength lies in numbers - with such vast support from fellow workers, organizing becomes an inevitable force. Shahn's artistic style combines realism with elements of social commentary. Through his brushstrokes and use of color, he effectively conveys both individual struggles and collective power within the labor union movement. This print is not just a visual representation; it encapsulates an important chapter in American history when workers fought against inequality and sought better conditions for themselves and future generations. It serves as a reminder that united efforts can bring about significant change even amidst challenging times.
