EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating poster announcing the Federal Theatre Project's presentation of the play "The Devil Passes" at the Columbia Theatre in 1936. The poster, a visual testament to the era's artistic and political climate, showcases a bold and dramatic design. At the heart of the image, the devil, depicted as a menacing figure with fiery eyes and horns, strides confidently forward, his long shadow stretching ominously behind him. The devil's progress is juxtaposed against the backdrop of a modern, industrial cityscape, with buildings and smokestacks rising in the background. This contrast between the ancient symbol of evil and the modern world speaks to the play's exploration of the complexities of human nature and the role of the supernatural in contemporary society. The poster's design is a testament to the innovative and progressive work of the Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the Great Depression. The project aimed to provide employment for unemployed actors, writers, and other artists, and to bring live theatre to communities across the United States. The poster's striking visuals and bold typography were designed to capture the attention of audiences and generate excitement for the production. Benn W. Levy, the artist behind the poster, was a prominent figure in the Federal Theatre Project and contributed to many of its most memorable designs. His work, like "The Devil Passes by Benn W. Levy," continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and historical significance. This poster is a reminder of the power of art to engage, inspire, and provoke thought, even in the most challenging of times.
