EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the essence of sacrifice and dedication during a tumultuous time in Spanish history. The poster, designed by Marti Bas for the Socialist Union Party (PSU) during the Spanish Civil War, urges citizens to join the front lines and work tirelessly to defend their country.
The stark color palette of brown and blue sets a somber tone, emphasizing the cold nights that soldiers faced as they fought bravely for their beliefs. A lone soldier stands proudly against a backdrop of stars in the night sky, his weapon at the ready. The image conveys a sense of duty and determination in the face of adversity.
The Catalan text on the poster reads "Les nits son fredes, treballa per al front," which translates to "The nights are cold, work for the front." This simple yet poignant message serves as a call to action for all who see it - reminding them that even in darkness, there is hope through hard work and solidarity.
As we reflect on this piece of history from 1937, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought valiantly for their ideals. It serves as a timeless reminder of resilience and unity in times of struggle.
