Build on the New Austria
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and enigmatic color lithograph from the early 1930s, created during a pivotal moment in Austrian history. The image, anonymous in origin and part of a private collection, offers a powerful visual commentary on the political and social upheaval that engulfed the country during this period. The poster's composition is striking, with a bold, geometric design that juxtaposes the ruins of the old Austria with the rising phoenix-like figure of the new Austria. The image is a visual representation of the self-elimination of the Austrian parliament, which took place in February 1934, when Engelbert Dollfuss, the Austrian Chancellor, dissolved the parliament and established a corporatist regime. The poster's use of symbolism is rich and layered. The old Austria is depicted as a crumbling edifice, with broken columns and shattered walls, while the new Austria is shown as a vibrant, dynamic force, rising from the ashes. The image's title, "Build on the New Austria," suggests a call to action, a rallying cry for Austrians to embrace the new order and rebuild their country. The poster's graphic design is also noteworthy, with its bold lines, vibrant colors, and striking use of negative space. The image's simplicity and clarity make it an effective visual tool for conveying a complex political message. Overall, "Build on the New Austria" is a fascinating and intriguing artifact from Austria's past, offering a glimpse into the country's tumultuous history and the powerful role that visual imagery can play in shaping public opinion and inspiring political action. Despite its anonymous origins, the poster remains a powerful and enduring symbol of the hope and determination that characterized the Austrian people during a time of great upheaval.
