DESIGNER UNKNOWN ¿QUE FAIS-TU POUR / EMPÊCHER CELA? 1937. 31 3/4x23 1/2 inches, 81x60 cm. Ministerio de Propaganda. Condition B+: repaired tears and time staining in margins; minor restored losses at edges; creases in margins and image. From the photograph by the famous war photographer Robert Capa, this is one of the most striking posters created to rally support for the Republican cause in the Spanish Civil War. Similar in color scheme and theme to Picasso's Guernica painted the same year, this black-and-white photomontage of a mother and child crouching in terror underneath a sky filled with Nazi bombers asked the question, "What are you doing to prevent this?" Printed in Spanish, French, and English, this propaganda poster acts as a sobering reminder of how the atrocities of war often harm the most innocent. Palette 13, Foto-Plakat p. 27.
