EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph poster, titled "A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND" created by Ben Shahn in 1948 for the Progressive Party, is a brilliant satire of a popular photograph from 1945. The original image depicted President Harry Truman playing a piano adorned by actress Lauren Bacall. However, in this satirical version, President Truman is joined at the piano by his Republican opponent Thomas E. Dewey. The poster cleverly plays on the phrase "A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND" to comment on the challenges faced by voters in finding trustworthy and capable leaders during political campaigns. Shahn's artistic style adds depth to this message with its cartoon-like depiction of both candidates at the piano. In an era when political advertisements were becoming increasingly prevalent, this lithograph stands out as a unique and thought-provoking piece of political commentary. It captures the essence of American politics during that time - highlighting not only the rivalry between parties but also emphasizing how difficult it can be for citizens to discern genuine qualities in their potential leaders. Shahn's use of humor and irony invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences with politicians and question whether they truly represent their interests. This print serves as a reminder that choosing good leaders requires careful consideration and critical thinking. Overall, "A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND" is an exceptional example of political art that continues to resonate today as we navigate through our own complex electoral landscape.
