‎Vintage World War II Poster: THIS IS NAZI BRUTALITY .‎

‎Washington DC: GPO / Office of War Information 1942. Folio broadside 38 x 28"; 97 x 72 cm scant. Printed by offset lithography in colors with OWI/GPO imprint and date in extreme lower margin. Professionally linen mounted lower margin with imprint retained top and side margins trimmed. With signs of minor color fill at apexes of top folds but otherwise a very good to fine bright example. Rolled. An exceptionally powerful image prepared by Shahn in response to the massacre at Lidice depicting a shackled and hooded man against a brick wall with the dated newswire report of the Lidice massacre superimposed over the figure and the brilliant red caption: "This is Nazi Brutality." Shahn worked for the OWI from the Autumn of 1942 until the Summer of the following year and although he produced a number of images for the agency only two were actually utilized -- the others were dismissed as too violent or as not sufficiently appropriate to the topic of the home front. Shortly thereafter he began his work with the CIO-PAC. GPO / Office of War Information unknown books‎
