A WWII Propaganda Poster



This is particularly interesting to me because it seems just as important today as it was during WWII. Of course resources were scarce during WWII, hence the request that people at home try to survive on less.

The posters very creative way of using products you'd find at home to shape the face of Hitler is also very creepy. The red just pops out as "DANGER!" and the folding of the paper add to the effect of hair. Also, the angle of the "eyebrow" make's the image angry as well as the nail for the mouth.

This reminds me so much of work a friend of mine in art does. Peter Fine makes figures with found items and these little people emerge - much like the Hitler face. It's also interesting how recycling is not a new concept although it is the biggest marketing ploy ever now.
